“The Clayton area is one the fastest-growing communities in our school district,” said Laurie Larsen, chair, Surrey Board of Education. “Maddaugh Elementary is a much-needed addition to our school district that will ease capacity in neighbouring schools and provide a modern learning environment for our students.”
Maddaugh Elementary is located on 76 Avenue which, before 1957, was called Maddaugh Road.
