The official opening of the St. Gabriel’s School at 8th Ave and King Street took place in August 1972. The new building replaced St. Gabriel’s Parish Convent, St. Theresa's Academy which was located on Queens Street between 5th and 6th Ave. The students had already moved into the new facilities at Easter. The new building was outfitted with a modern up-to-date air exchange system and a state of the art lighting system. An addition and renovations were made to the school in 1986.
