In 1892 plans for a new school were completed with Mr. George Pomeroy and Mr. Henry Brown, one of the trustees, looking after the business of building the school. This school is situated only a few rods east of the town line between Cramahe & Haldimand [Townships] on the Shelter Valley Road. It is a frame building facing the south with eight windows and two doors. Since the building of this school much has been done to improve it. In 1916 a modern heating plant was added where formerly a box stove was in use. Slate blackboards have taken the place of the old-type wooden ones. A good well is found in the yard equipped with a steel pump. A flagpole stands in the yard when on Empire holidays the Union Jack is flown.

In 1930 twenty-three of the new type chair desks took the place of the old-fashioned double desks. Since 1934 a school garden has been planted each year. In 1935 a hardwood floor was laid and the following year a piano was purchased. A special training in music is provided when each week a special hour of music is taught by a qualified teacher. In 1940 the building was given a coat of white paint and trimmed with green. A cement stoop was built along the front of the building. A new wire fence was placed along the front of the yard also.
