St. Paul's High School is a Jesuit Roman Catholic all-boys university preparatory high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The school has more than 600 students[1] and has an active alumni community numbering more than 12,000.

History

[edit]

St. Paul's High School was founded in 1926 in a location on Selkirk Avenue. In 1931, the school moved to a larger campus on Ellice Avenue, allowing for dormitory and field space. The college section moved to the University of Manitoba Fort Garry campus in 1958, where it remains to this day. The high school subsequently moved to its current location at 2200 Grant Avenue in 1964.[2]

During the early 1980s, the Jesuit residence was converted into the Monaghan Wing to create additional classroom and teacher preparation space; at the same time, the science laboratories were improved. At the turn of the century, the school responded to the need for more diverse education, and so the Jesuit Legacy Campaign led to the Angus Reid Centre, which includes new classrooms, art, and band rooms, a multimedia lab, a new cafeteria and Crusader locker rooms. By 2007, the burgeoning number of extramural sports teams, fueled by the almost doubled school population from the 1970s, led to the June 2013 opening of the Paul Albrechtsen Multiplex, which holds a state-of-the-art fitness facility, regulation-size basketball court, athletic therapy centre, and a beach volleyball court.

Today, the school has a 14-acre campus, 33,000 square feet of classroom space, and a 1,800-square-foot music and art room.
