S. S. #18 - Red Hill    

Red Hill School was built in 1853 on the SE corner of  lot 12, concession 13, Western Section.  The earliest records date to 1856. The school district served a large area including parts of section 21 and the Macton separate school section.

In 1866 the Roman Catholic students were transferred to Macton. In 1868 the section was divided into S. S. # 18 and S. S. #21.

In 1869 a new frame building was built on lot 5 concession 14, Eastern Section. This school stood until 1930 when the present red brick building was built. It is now used as a parochial school.
