History
The property on which Castlemore P. S. is located was known as "Rosemount Farm" for nearly a century. From 1914 until 1950, the farm was owned by Fred and Emma Bagg and became one of the finest Dairy Farms in Markham Township. The wood lot, which Fred Bagg started with seedlings, is located to the north and west of the school and forms an important part of the parklands adjacent to the school. Prior to assuming its current name, the school was known as "Berczy North" - in honour of William Berczy (born Johann Albrecht Ulrich Moll) who arrived with sixty other families in 1794.
Our school motto is "Voices of Today, Voices for Tomorrow."
Our school mascot is the Tiger.
