History

Named after the residential nieghbourhood it was constructed in. The school was constructed by Beverly School District No. 2292 in 1913 and was annexed to Edmonton in 1961. The name Beverly was chosen after the Canadian Pacific Railway Station that was in the area. Prior to 1953, Beverly (Central) Schools consisted of 3 buildings: a 2-room school, later referred to as the Church building; a 4-room school, brick, used until 1955; a 6-room steel school, referred to as "H" and "tin" school. After 1953, this group became known as Central or Beverly Central. Beverly Central School was demolished in 1955 and in 1959 R. J. Scott School was constructed at the same location.
