“School Section # 6 was formed at the same time as S.S. # 5 (Crediton) in 1857, council acting upon petitions by the residents. The boundary of this section included Lots 6 to 13 from the 10th Concession to the 21st (Shipka). Thomas Davis was instructed to call the first meeting for S.S. # [6]. The school was known as Khiva. Records indicate that both Protestant and Roman Catholic children attended until the first school at Mount Carmel was opened.

Some of the teachers were Marjorie Guinan [Guonan?], Cora Schroeder, Ada Willis, Florence Turnbull, Vera Mawhinney, Mary Stewart, Marguerite Knight, Clara Douglas, Janet Turnbull and Helen Jamieson.”
