B&W picture of St. Monica School in 1981

In 1916, parishioners of St. Monica's Parish approached the School Board asking for a school to be built close to the church.

A temporary structure was built and two nuns became the first teachers of St. Monica School.

A permanent building was constructed on the current site in 1925, with additions in 1955, 1963, and 1966.
