History of Kenaston School

Kenaston School traces it's history back to 1905 when it opened with 14 students while the town was still known as Bonnington. In 1913, a new brick school was built to replace it, and an expansion for a high school soon followed.

This building would have a long life in Kenaston and was used until the current school was constructed in 1959. Expansions over the years would add a gymnasium in 1964, a library and portable classrooms in 1973 and a new wing for the high school in 1992.

Today we have a beautiful school with 10 classrooms, a science lab, an up to date computer lab, home economics lab and a industrial arts lab with drafting, photography, welding, woodworking and screenprinting facilities.

2008 brought about another significant change as the school became host to the Sun West Distance Learning Centre. The school broadcasts a number of courses out to schools and offers a wide range of correspondence courses to meet the needs of students across the school division. Technology has become an integral part of the school, with interactive smartboards, document cameras and a wide variety of other equipment available to enhance instruction.
