History
General Brock Elementary is made up of three buildings. The oldest, completed in 1908, is a wood frame structure which originally had students from grade 1 to grade 8 in the 8 classrooms. Initially the school was named "Mountain View" but 3 years later it was renamed General Brock Elementary. A second wood frame building was built in 1921 to hold the accelerating school population with another addition going up in 1923. In 1955 a third building made of concrete block was added. Notable alumni include Jimmy Pattison and Red Robinson.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
“Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
