Major Events
In January 2011 the school was shut down for 2 & 1/2 days due to an unknown substance. The students were evacuated into nearby Monsignor Clair Catholic Elementary School and École Frère-André Elementary School. A total of 29 students were sent to hospital, then were released shortly after. The school was cleaned by a industrial hygienist company and the tests were inconclusive as to what chemical/substance was released. The person(s) was never found that might have released the substance, although it was suspected to be a student's doing trying to avoid exams. Some students speculate that it may also have been a teacher who detected an odd odor coming from a science room but was unaware of the science experiments taking place and called school administration.
