History
The school was named for Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the twentieth Prime Minister of Canada. The original school, the North Arm School, was founded in 1885. In 1912, when the first Walter Moberly Elementary School was constructed at Ross Street and East 59th Avenue, the original two-room school became the Walter Moberly Annex, serving K-4.
The new school opened in September 2002, adding grades 4 through 7 to the school. In January 2003, the school expanded with additional classrooms, an administration wing, library, gym, multipurpose room and computer lab.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
