History

Jack Chambers School is named after the late London artist Jack Chambers. He trained at H. B. Beal Technical School and later studied in Madrid before returning to London in 1961.

Chambers became known for capturing southwestern Ontario landscapes and gained recognition as both a painter and filmmaker.

In 1991, when the school was being built, the community proposed names. Inspired by local scenery similar to Chambers’ paintings, a resident successfully advocated for naming the school after him.
