History
William Armstrong Public School was named after Captain Wm. Armstrong (1792-1878), an early Markham resident who was active in many aspects of local development such as roads, agriculture, land and schooling.
Our school motto is “Service to Others.”
A William Armstrong student designed our school mascot in 2002. Our mascot characterizes an athletic creature, which depicts energy and enthusiasm.
