- This white brick, two-storey building opened on August 17, 1876, with Mr. M.J. Glass as the first principal. Within two years this new Petersville School was re-christened Empress School. This building was used until the end of 1924, by which time a new Empress Public School had been built. The new school, completed in December 1924, opened in January 1925.
