35 years ago there were 72 students attending St Edmunds Public school in Tobermory. The school, at that time, was located where the Tobermory Community Centre tennis courts and playground now sit – at Schoolbell Park. Students from kindergarden to grade 6 attended the school.

The March 1990 issue of the Tobermory Press showed students touring the new school located on Centennial Drive, which opened on March 19th, 1990. 

Currently there are 16 students attending St Edmunds Public School.
