Oakridge Public School was built on this site in 1913 to replace the former one room school, S.S. No. 12, which had been gutted by fire. Two rooms were added in 1916 and four more rooms in 1922.
As the population of the township of Scarborough continued to grow, a second building, consisting of six rooms, was built.
This 1925 datestone was taken from the second building when both structures were demolished in 1967 and replaced by a modern school on Byng Avenue.
