Grand Avenue Public School, Grimsby, Ontario 2.32

Grand Avenue Public School officially opened with grades JK to Grade 3 on December 1, 1960. At this time there were 106 students enrolled at Grand Avenue. Throughout the 1960's additional classrooms to accommodate an expansion of Grades JK to 8 were built. Enrolment during that time ballooned to approximately 400 in 1966.

In 2007, an extensive 4.5 million dollar renovation and update took place. This was in the form of new offices, library/computer room, gymnasium and a Day Care. Today the enrolment stands at 250. Grand Avenue School still has the small school feel along with a beautiful, park-like playground. School Council at Grand Avenue is very active and does considerable fund raising as seen in the numerous purchases of playground equipment in recent years. Throughout the year there are many activities and GRAND events taking place that are part of our traditions and culture here at Grand. We always believe that Grand Avenue School will remain in our school community’s hearts forever and that our students embrace our Board motto “Achieving Success Together”.
