Attached to the brick work at this cool looking school at 1410 Military Trail is a 1975 Scarborough Historical Society plaque. Here's what it says:

The first school in this area was a small square plank building erected in 1832 on "Fishery Road" now Colonel Danforth Trail. In 1847 the area became S.S.7, and a single frame school was built at the top of the west hill on the Kingston Road to serve both West Hill and Highland Creek. In 1870 this was replaced by a school in the valley, which was attended by students of both communities until the present Highland Creek School was opened in September 1918.
