History
Named after the residential neighbourhood the school was constructed in. The neighbourhood is named after Arthur L. Sifton (1858-1921) who was the Premier of Alberta from 1910-1917. Sifton was born in Canada West and practised law until he was elected to the Territorial Legislature for Banff in 1899. Sifton served on the Executive Council and was appointed Alberta's first Chief Justice in 1907. In 1919, he resigned as Premier and joined the Federal Union government of Sir Robert Borden. An addition was added to the school in 1978.
