History
Guelph's largest high school was originally named John F. Ross Vocational School in honour of John Francis Ross, a highly respected Guelph educator and principal. The school opened its doors in 1956 to 460 students with 25 teachers and Lorne Fox as its principal, under its new name John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational Institute. It celebrated its 50th anniversary with a reunion in May 2006. Detailed history found here: .

“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
