history
Enderby Public School was built in 1902 to accommodate elementary and high school students. In 1913 a brick two-storey building, named Fortune School, was built to replace the small public school. It was known variously as Enderby High School, Enderby Junior Secondary, A.L. Fortune Junior Secondary, and M.V. Beattie Elementary School. In 1978, following a devastating fire, A.L. Fortune Secondary School was built for students grades 8 through 12. The high school served Enderby and District, including the communities of Springbend, Grindrod, Mara, North Enderby, Ashton Creek and Kingfisher.
