Our experienced teachers bring a deep understanding of diverse and complex learning needs and work closely with families to ensure every child feels supported and successful.
For families needing care beyond school hours, a professional daycare located within our building offers convenient before- and after-school programming.
Historical Information
Devon’s first school, built by the Clover Bar School Division, was completed in 1949. It is just east of the current Robina Baker School and is used by Devon Pre-School and the Pottery Guild. In 1950, the newly created Devon SD #4972 purchased the building and authorized the building of a new 4-room school to the west of the first building. Among the teachers hired for the 1950-1951 school year was Robina Baker. She was appointed Principal in 1971 and retired in 1974. That summer, the elementary school was renamed Robina Baker School. Robina Baker passed away in Spruce Grove in March of 2010 at the age of 100.
