Since 1885, St. Edward's School has been conducted in three different buildings.
Classes at first were conducted in the building which was divided into church, school, and parsonage.
In 1924, the old church building was moved about 80 feet, on the Ferry Steet side of the church property, and remodeled to serve as school and parish hall.
It served until the present school was dedicated in 1955.
An annex containing a large gymnasium and additional classrooms was added in 1962. Peak enrollment of 360 pupils was in 1965-1972.

Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
