Historic plaque located on the corner of George Street and Wellington Street in the community of Cookstown. The plaque features both a photo of the former school with students standing in front of it, as well as the logo for the Town of Innisfil. The sign reads: "The Cookstown School was erected in 1888 to replace smaller buildings further north. The structure was built around part of the old Methodist Church that was moved from Queen Street. The school had three main-floor classrooms for Public School, and, in 1913, two upstairs classrooms were added for the Continuation School (Grades 9-12). The Continuation School closed in 1959 with the opening of Banting Memorial High School in Alliston. The Public School was replaced with a new school further north on King Street in 1959. After a short time as a factory, this original, with additions, became an apartment building."
