History
Winterburn School was constructed by Winterburn School District No. 4680 in 1913 and was originally named Splan School in 1913 and was renamed Winterburn School in 1935. The school was named after the residential neighbourhood, it was constructed in. The name Winterburn originates from old English, meaning "a stream dry except in winter." Local tradition, however, connects Winterburn with the burning off of muskeg in the winter. In 1918 the school was utilized as a hospital during the influenza epidemic. In 1951, a new building was constructed and the original building was sold and moved to the Stony Plain area. In 1957, a second school was built at the same location, with additions made in 1959, 1971-1972 and 1977; this makes up the current school building. Winterburn School District No. 4680 was annexed by Edmonton Public Schools in 1982.
