About
Welcome to Horace Allen School, which is a part of the Livingstone Range School Division. Our school proudly serves K-3 students and their families from the communities of Coleman, Blairmore, Frank, Bellevue and Hillcrest. Originally built as a High School in 1963, HAS is named for Mr. Horace Allen, the school’s first principal and a longtime educator in Coleman. Over the years, HAS has undergone several renovations, the most recent one in 2003. Our school now features improvements which make it appropriate for a K-3 school population.
