History

G.V.D.P.S. initially was a secondary school which served the Grand Valley area. During the 1970’s, Orangeville District Secondary School was expanded and the students from Grand Valley began attending the Orangeville high school. The elementary students, who at the time were attending a smaller school located across the street from the existing school, then moved into this building.

In 1995 a large primary wing was added to the north end of the school. The population of the school at that time was approximately 600 students. The school continued to require three portables even after the addition was built.

In 1998, Laurelwoods Elementary School was opened just north and east of Grand Valley. School boundary changes resulted in 175 students from Grand Valley School attending Laurelwoods E.S.
