In Clinton, the Christian School Society was established in June of 1953 with a support of 40 parents. Over the next several years, financial and moral support continued to grow and on January 19, 1962 the school board was able to an- nounce that a new two -room school would open in September. The building was constructed on land north of the Christian Reformed Church at the east end of Princess Street, and free labor helped to put the school up, and keep the costs down. That September, 54 children, from Grade 1 to Grade 8 sat in the brand new desks and learn- ed their lessons. Today, under the direction of principal Mr. Ralph Schuur- man, the school has an enrol- ment of over 190. In 1980 an im- pressive new gymnasium - auditorium, was added to the existing school. At a cost of $155,000, the needed addition in- cludes an auditorium, attrac- tive front entrance, kitchen, dressing rooms, equipment and storage rooms. The Christian School is fast becoming known as the place to go for delicious pancakes, and each year the students, teachers and helpful parents feed many people at their an- nual pancake supper. Proceeds from this event go to school purchases. As well, students clearly il- lustrated their musical and ac- ting talents with plays each year.
