Rockwood Centennial School was built in 1967. It is a K – 8 school located in the village of Rockwood on Pasmore Street. The school backs onto the magnificent pine forest of the Rockwood Conservation Area. Students attending our school come from the villages of Rockwood, Eden Mills, Everton, and the area south of Highway 24 in Guelph Eramosa Township. Graduating students move on to attend John F. Ross or College Heights in Guelph.
Rockwood is the main community in Guelph/Eramosa township. Today Highway 7 gives access to Rockwood, located between Acton and the city of Guelph. The Eramosa River runs through the centre of the village. Anglo-Europeans settled here because of the river; it provided power for mills, some of the first businesses established. They were integral to industry and became the economic engine of the settlement.
