Yarrow Junior High 1953-1966

YARROW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

The Yarrow Elementary Junior High School opened in 1953. Located on North Wilson Road, Yarrow, the school was built by the Mennonite Church, and operated as the Sharon Mennonite Collegiate Institute (SMCI). The Chilliwack School Board purchased the building and property in 1952. The Junior High School operated from 1953 to 1966. After that, Junior High students attended other schools, while the Elementary School continued at the same location.

Although the number of Junior High School students never exceeded 100, they achieved success in academics, sports, music, and speech competitions — thanks to the very dedicated teachers — whose skill and ingenuity overcame the school's limited resources. Mr. Walter Ferguson served as the principal of the school from 1953 to 1966. He was succeeded by Mr. Lesley Tarmar.

In the summer of 1994, many former teachers and students attended the Yarrow School Reunion. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet friends we hadn't seen for many years.

The list of the students who served on the student council of the Yarrow Junior High School appears below.
