History
A theory of name origin is that Glenora originated from the Scottish word “glen”, meaning valley, and the French “or”, meaning gold, because Glenora contains three ravines which lead to the North Saskatchewan River, where it is still possible to pan for gold. In March 1931, Superintendent McKee recommended a new school be built on property owned by the Board between 102 and 103 Avenues and 135 and 136 Streets. The School was to accommodate 279 students in grades 1-6, with grades 7 & 8 going to Oliver or Westmount. McKee recommended that the exterior match the neighbourhoods architecture. Present Glenora Elementary School was officially opened November 14, 1940 by Mr. A. E. Ottewell, Chairman of the Edmonton Public School Board.
