History
During 1965 the Education Department decided to establish a new secondary school in the Springvale and Noble Park area. A site was reserved and the official name was Heatherhill High School. Mr. N. R. Oxenbould was appointed as the first principal, and the first school assembly had 105 students, three members of staff and one office assistant which was held in the grounds of the Heatherhill State School on 2 February. The school celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006 with a barbecue luncheon for past and present members of the school community. Patrick Boyd became the campus principal upon the school's merger with Keysborough.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
