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 hamilton, high and/or school:
“There are few efforts more conducive to humility than that of the translator trying to communicate an incommunicable beauty. Yet, unless we do try, something unique and never surpassed will cease to exist except in the libraries of a few inquisitive book lovers.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
“What’s brave, what’s noble,
Let’s do’t after the high Roman fashion,
And make death proud to take us.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
