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.

“Look, I’m not saying he didn’t make some major mistakes. When it comes to value judgments, Rob is right up there with Custer and Nixon.”
—Jonathan Reynolds, screenwriter. Leo (Richard Mulligan)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
