The school originally had 12 classrooms. 11 rooms were filled in just 2 months. 12 more classrooms were added in 1927 due to high demand of expansion. Mr. K.C. Hortop served as the Gordon McGregor School’s first principal from 1924 to 1955.

The school closed in 2016. The reason why Ministry of Education closed Gordon McGregor School was to create a JK-12 school (JK-12 facility) at Percy P. McCallum School. The school was declared surplus. Many students and parents were upset about the closure of this school. They spoke at city hall meetings protesting the school’s closure. Some parents created petitions to prevent the school from closing. Its students were sent to McCallum School.
