Al Saxe

In 1949 Al Saxe replaced Kate Doyle as principal of the Orchard school at the Gish Road site. Mr. Saxe supervised the building of two new wings and a cafeteria/kitchen to the site. Soon after Saxe arrived, the first mobile home park, Riverbend, was built, bringing an extra 100 pupils to the school.
