Notes
Miss Gladys McCleary was a long-time teacher at McCurdy's Corners School, Ninth Line and Derry Roads which was S.S.#8. She became a school inspector and later a trustee. Halton County has honoured her work by naming a school after her. Please see the link provided here.

S.S. #7 was the school at the corner of Derry Road and Sixth Line.

More information on McCurdy's School can be found at the Heritage Mississauga link provided here, as Mc Curdy's Corners became part of Mississauga in 1974.
