Mission and Values
In order to support the Board’s mission, we, at Meadowbrook Public School, are committed to working together in partnership with our students, parents, and community to provide the best possible program for each and every student based on the principles of the Ontario Curriculum and The York Region District School Board policies, procedures and program documents. We recognize that our greatest strengths are the strong team approach to problem solving, delivery of program, extra curricular events, and establishing Meadowbrook Public School as an inviting, dynamic, purposeful, and safe environment in which to learn.
Our History
Meadowbrook P.S. was named in a contest. A student, Scott Mallory, won the “Name the School” contest for students in East Gwillimbury. Scott’s award-winning name for this last school built by the East Gwillimbury School Board was Meadowbrook. The design and philosophy of the school was controversial in the neighbourhood and the Town, given that it was built with a unique open-concept design. The school building was to be ready for September 1968 but it was not completed on time. School had to begin at the St. John Chrysostom Roman Catholic Church education building on Main and Ontario Streets. To accommodate the students they attended in shifts, Primary and Junior students from 8-12 a.m. and Intermediate from 12:30 – 4:30 p.m. By December the school was ready. The first Principal was Dr. Art Boynton.
