History
Founded in 1896, Loyola High School started life as Loyola College (an 8 year classical college or "collège classique") which assumed responsibility for the English section of Collège Sainte-Marie de Montréal, a French Jesuit school which existed from 1848 to 1969. In 1964, the Loyola High School Corporation was established to run the School separately from the College. When Loyola College merged with Sir George Williams University in 1974 to form Concordia University, title to the land that the School occupied on the north-east corner of the campus was transferred from the College. To this day, Loyola has remained true to the Jesuit commitment of educating "Men for Others" who are intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
