History

When the population of Peel County began experiencing a population explosion in the 1950s, the secretary-treasurer for the South Peel Board of Education began negotiations to purchase land for a new school to be built on a 13½ acre site at the price of $32,469. Construction on the school began in 1957, and the total cost of the school (including the land) was $752,569. Billed as a very modern design when the school opened for students in January 1958, the main feature of the school, facing south onto Lorne Park Road, was a suspended concrete canopy with two-story windows. The school opened with 272 students and 16 teachers. The school went through a series of upgrades in the first 20 years of its existence. In 1962, a

In 1964, the school underwent a major construction project in which a second, larger gymnasium, weight rooms, technology shops and classrooms as well as a completely new section to the north which housed 2 floors of classrooms were constructed. The 1964 upgrades raised the student capacity from 300 to 1800. In 1972, a
