[edit] History
The School was constructed by VSB and from the Architect David Hormer (1915 - 1960), VSB very liked the design and ended up using it for 3 schools. Laura Secord took 4 months of construction to complete and 1 year to start the school working. The school continued to grow with students causing the staff to make changes into the building. At 1973, the VSB gave $40,000 to make a big gym for the school. The gym was easily constructed in 2 months and finshed painting in a week later. In 1999, Laura Secord Elementry needed a new foundation connecting with the old one thus requesting $850,000 to make the new wing.
