People/Subject
Milner Elementary School
The original Milner School was built in the early 1900's as a one room structure located on Johnston Townline Road (216th Street) just south of Medd Road (64th Avenue). The Milner Elementary School as it stands in 2003 at 6656 Glover Road was constructed in 1914 by Mr. Owen Hughes. Changes through the years have included the addition of a principal's office, a gymnasium, a medical room, and a portable classroom.
The school closed in the 1980s due to declining pupils and was later turned into the Milner Education Centre.
