THE NAMING OF BUIDLINGS/FACILITIES ON THE CAMPUS Introduction The practice of naming buildings/facilities on the campus began in 1968 when the newly built swimming pool was named for our third principal, Miss Mary Dawson on her retirement. The Fay Saunders Counselling Centre built in 1983 was named for our fourth Principal who had resigned in 1974 to become Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education. The Joan Reader Vocational Block which was completed in 1988 was officially opened in 1989 and named for our fifth Principal (also 2nd Vice Principal) who had retired in December 1988. The Dahlia Repole Complex built in 2008 was named for our sixth Principal (also 3rd Vice Principal) who had resigned in August 2000, to become Principal of Excelsior Community College. The Emrie James Museum, opened in 2010 on the occasion of our 85th Anniversary was named for our School Secretary of forty years who served four Principals. None of the buildings/facilities existing prior to 1968 had been named. On recommendation of the 90th Anniversary Committee the following buildings were named in honour of Past Principals and Vice Principals.
