St. Ann Catholic Elementary School has been educating students for over 100 years. The cornerstone of the school was laid on the Feast of St. Ann, July 26, 1908. St. Ann Church had preceded it by two years, and as with the practice of the day, a school would be built after the pastor, Father Leahard, made a request to the Bishop. Bishop Dowling offered the building site and $10 000 at 4.4% per annum. The Catholic School Board passed the motion that the Bishop’s offer be accepted and a school be built not to exceed this amount. The school opened on January 4, 1909 with two rooms and fifty-six students. There were eight schools at this time and St. Ann School would be the most easterly. The school grew, as the city of Hamilton continued to expand east. In 1914 and 1927, new classrooms were added and by 1955, there were eight sisters, twelve lay teachers and 745 students. By Canada’s Centennial, the school had grown to 35 classrooms, 40 teachers and 1 400 students.
