School Information

Welcome to River Heights!

River Heights Elementary School sits within sight of the Grand River Bridge. This historic landmark is the only nine span bridge of its kind in Canada and is considered one of the first reinforced concrete bridges ever built. The original school building was built in 1924 and served as Caledonia High School. In 1992, the school was converted to an elementary school and River Heights was born. With a student body of almost 700 English and French Immersion students, it is the third largest elementary school in the Grand Erie District School board.
