The first school was built in 1889 and known as Biggar Prairie School on the Richard Thomas Biggar homestead. On February 23, 1892 the name was changed by Alexander Cameron to Lochiel School. In 1896, a red school house was built with lumber floated from Bum Gartner's Saw Mill on Old Yale Road to the building site on North Bluff Road (now 16th Ave.). The original school was replaced in 1924 with a one room building--the old wing of the current building. The school operated for one year after which students were bussed to Murrayville. In 1937, the school was reopened. In 1950, the school was moved to a three acre plot on 224th Street just south of 16th Ave. On February 20, 1975, arsonists set fire to the school causing major damage. It was then moved to Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley, BC.
