About our School

Principal: Shawn Donovan
 
 
Who was R. Ross Beattie? Where did he come from and why was our school named after him?
 
Robert Ross Beattie was born and raised in the city of Guelph, Ontario. He attended both public and high school there. When he was 17 years old he lost his left hand in an industrial accident in a part-time job he was doing. It was at this point in his life that his dreams of becoming a dentist had to change. He did not need two hands to become a teacher. He attended Guelph Normal School and taught at Guelph’s Central School from 1926 to 1927. From 1927 until 1930 he was the principal of the King Edward School in Guelph.
