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.
