- In 1951, Oland Construction Company was awarded a contract to build a new elementary school Allan Watson on 6th Ave South and 23 Street. Named in honour of Allan James Watson who in 1924 accepted a double assignment as the principle and Superintendent of the Lethbridge High School. When Mr. J.H. Fleetwood, Secretary-Treasurer of the Board died in 1936, the trustees reorganized the administration system. Mr. Watson then became the full time principle from 1936-1951 and from 1952 till his death in 1961 he was the Secretary-Treasurer.
