Origins
Glace Bay High School was formed by combining the students of the former Morrison Glace Bay High School and Saint Michael's High School both of which became Junior High schools. Then in 1994 Donkin-Morien and Reserve District High Schools were closed and their students absorbed into the GBHS population causing the student population to rise to almost 1300. Morrison Junior High School and Saint Michael's Junior High School both closed in 2010 with the construction of Ocean View Education Centre. Ocean View Education Centre is now the only Junior High in Glace Bay.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
