The school board took action towards building the new Wyncote Elementary facility prior to the United States entrance into World War II. On March 18, 1941, the township had condemned six acres of the former Gribell Estate at Church and Rices Mill Roads for use as the new school. But the war delayed construction and during the war years the kindergarten and first grades were housed at Thomas Williams Junior High School because the former building on Greenwood Avenue had ling been outgrown. In 1947, the school district purchased additional land from the estate of Frank Schoble and finally, on September 15, 1948, opened the new Wyncote School. The most recent construction came in 1969, with the addition of new classrooms, a library, and a multi-use room.
