Rural Regional High School. Grades 9 to 12 were taught in this school.

In September, 1973 West Covehead and Covehead Road schools were closed and Stanhope became a consolidated school as part of the East Royalty Area Schools. Children were bussed to Stanhope from

West Covehead and Covehead Road, and the playroom in the base- ment was converted into a third classroom; this school now taught

grades 1 to 6. At this time Stonepark Junior High School was established in Sherwood for grades 7-9; students in grades 10-12 still attended Charlottetown Rural Regional High School.

In 1983 a new elementary school named L.M. Montgomery School was built in East Royalty. Children living in Stanhope have the option of attending this new school or of attending Stanhope and Grand Tracadie schools which are now “twinned”, with Grades 1, 2 and 3 attending Stanhope School, and Grades 4, 5 and 6 going to Grand Tracadie.
