The school began in 1920 as Hamilton Technical Day School (later amended to Hamilton's Technical High School in 1924). From its central city site on the Garden Place Hill, now occupied by Wintec, the school was an integral part of the growth and development of Hamilton. For the next 50 years, many of the pupils went on to become influential commercial, political, sporting and cultural leaders in Hamilton.

Famous quotes containing the words high school, hamilton, high and/or school:
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“There, do not start,
child, nor toss about;
only calm and high pride
can help your hurt:
fate tries all alike.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
