History

The school was named for John Fraser who retired as Director of the Peel District School Board in 1988.[1] The school was established in 1990.[1] In 2002, the school began an expansion which resulted in a new wing being added on to the school to meet the rising population.

They have raised funds for Kids Can Free the Children to build two schools in Sierra Leone and Sleeping Children Around the World to provide bed kits for 302 children around Canada. In addition, the school donated $15,150 for the Herbie Fund at the Hospital for Sick Children. Around 2010, John Fraser raised approximately $20,000 for women and girls in Afghanistan, and other charitable causes. In the 2016–2017 school year, John Fraser helped raise over $13,000 as well as approximately 1800 non-perishable food items for a local Mississauga food bank.[3][4]
