History
North Toronto High School was founded in 1910 and was originally housed in the North Toronto Town Hall. The original two-storey school building had five rooms, and was completed in 1912 (the same year that the town of North Toronto became part of the City of Toronto). Later, the school was renovated to include a third storey and became the north side of the old building, once the south section was built. Other additions include the 1956 math (east) wing, swimming pool, cafeteria and auditorium, as well as the science wing in 1966-1967.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”
—Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
