History
Mackenzie was constructed in 1925 with an enrollment of about 25 to 30 students. In 1930 the official school was built and opened for grades K to 7. Students had to wear uniforms which were the school colours of blue and white. The girls had to go in through the east side and the boys had to go in through the west side. In 2005 it was the celebration of 75 years of teaching at Sir Alexander Mackenzie, an important occasion for the school.
