The Robert W. Zahara School is located in the Town of Sexsmith adjacent to the Arena and the Sexsmith Secondary High School. It provides educational services to a roughly equal mixture of rural and urban students. The school offers two ECS program each two days a week to approximately 50 students, and has about 365 students enrolled in grades one to six.

FACILITIES

The core building of the school was constructed in 1978 - 1979, and it was designed as a six by six core school. There were four portables added to the east end of the school in 1980, and six additional rooms were added in 1989. The facility currently has sixteen classrooms, a computer room, a library, a music room, and a gymnasium. With the increase in enrollment in recent years, serious consideration needs to be given to expansion of four to six more rooms. This need has become imperative as our enrollment continues to grow and we will need to have three classrooms per grade.
