Central Park P.S. History
School Mascot is the eagle, a creature of character that respresents love. The school motto is "Learning to Soar" and "Soaring Together".
Central Park Public
School opened its doors in 1989 with the official opening in 1990. The name “Central Park” was given to the
school as it is a part of the Manhattan subdivision.
The subdivision and
school were built near the historical site of the Quantztown Cemetery, which
commemorates the early settlers in the area, many of whom came from Germany in
the late 1700s as part of the Berzcy Settlers.
Today the school
community of Central Park is very diverse, representing cultures from around
the world. For many of our students,
Central Park is their first school upon their arrival to Canada.
The “Tree of Learning”
is the school logo. It was created by
Heather Miller, the first vice-principal.
its design is truly unique, incorporating drawings of children within
the structure of the tree and its limbs.
She also wrote the words to the school song.
Our school song is:
Love grows under the Central Park Tree
Lots of love for you and me
Reach for the top
Try your best each day
And we we’ll help each other all along the way.
Dreams dreams.
Sweet dreams,
Under the Central Park Tree.
Dreams, dreams,
One for you and one for me.
Oh, love grows under the Central Park Tree.
Lots of love for you and me.
Reach for the top
Try your best each day
And we’ll help each other all along the way.
