History
JL Crowe was founded in 1952, after demand grew over the smaller, and aging Central School in West Trail. It was originally a grades 10-12, as there were 2 middle schools in the area. Modifications were made to the school during the mid 70s, and 80s, including the addition of a shop wing, and a bigger library. After 58 years the school was demolished, and a new one was built.
New school
In late 2007, construction of a new school began on the field adjacent to the original school. The new building was opened in September 2009, and demolition of the old building was completed a few weeks later. It came with state of the art technology, including document cameras in most classrooms, and 70 new iPads that were later added for learning use. The new school has a gym, cardio room, weight room, a full science lab, and five classrooms for shop classes, including woodworking, metalworking, and electronics.
Student life
Students have a wide variety of classes to choose from, including art classes to shop classes. Students can also enter in after school activities including, strength training, cross-training, volleyball, basketball, swimming, field hockey, hockey, track and field, rugby, and cross country running.
