Named in honour of Frank Oliver, then federal Minister of the Interior and former school board trustee, editor of the Edmonton Bulletin and Northwest Territories councilor, Oliver School opened on 13 March 1911, with an enrolment of 280 pupils.
The Edmonton Public School Board had awarded the construction to Edmonton contractor Alex Beaton for $76,300, but the plumbing and heating installations raised the final cost to over $100,000. New features included fireproof staircases and landings in separate wings, large segregated basement playrooms for each gender, and the latest in heating and ventilating innovations. The original ventilation system is still in use today. Having such conveniences as electric lights, indoor toilets and a miniature rifle range in the boys' playroom made Oliver School a very modern building for its time.
Oliver School expansions included an addition in 1929, a gymnasium in 1957 and a $3.5 million modernization completed in 2000. In 1956, Oliver School expanded to become an elementary - junior high school and remained as such until 1979, when it reverted to an elementary school. Today, it is the home of the Oliver Elementary Program serving 230 boys and girls, and the Nellie McClung Girls' Junior High Program serving 180 girls.
Oliver School holds a record for Edmonton public schools with two of its members, Robina McMillan (1919-1962) and Helen Raver (1922-1964), having taught for a total of 85 years.

This school officially opened in 1906 and was originally called Duggan Street School in honour of J. J. Duggan, former alderman, and Mayor of Strathcona. Built by Messrs. Pheasey and Batson, contractors who insisted upon craftsmanship, it is a fine example of turn of the century architecture. It was renamed Queen Alexandra School in 1910. The University of Alberta used this school as a campus, and as office of the President of the University, during 1908.
It was subsequently a neighbourhood elementary school for many years until offering a charter program in the last decade.
