The construction of Port Hood Consolidated School began in fall 1961 and concluded in spring 1962.
Due to the organized efforts of local citizens, the decision was made to build a P-12 school on the former site of the Port Hood Academy.
The event was marked by the appearance of the Premier of Nova Scotia and Minister of Education Robert L. Stanfield, his wife Mary and local dignitaries.
After nearly 40 years of operation, the closure of Port Hood Consolidated and was announced for spring 2000.
Former students would attend the P-8 Bayview Education Centre and 9-12 Dalbrae Academy, which opened in fall 2000.
