History
The first building of the Academy burnt down in 1893, and was replaced with a newer and larger building. In 1929 a new High School was built and which was called the "New Academy". In 1933 a fire swept through some of the Old Academy, destroying the Junior High part of the school. A few months later a new building was built, the first Junior High School in Nova Scotia. In 1952 a new, larger building, including a gymnasium, was built for the Junior High and in 1955 a new section was built for the Elementary. Around 1964 a new extension to the High School was built with new labs and adding some more classrooms to the Elementary. In the 1980s the Elementary was torn down and they moved to their present location in the Junior High building and the Junior High moved to the old Elementary building. In 1987 the first cafeteria the school had was built, and a new gym and stage was added.
