History
Cedarbrook Public School held its official opening on Thursday, November 27, 1958. Like the community in which it was situated, the name Cedarbrook came from the name of the original farm owned by Mr. Frank Goforth. Eleven years later, in September 1969, John McCrae Sr. P. S. opened, and Cedarbrook became a junior school. In September 2011, Cedarbrook changed back to a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school.
