School Name
The name Mulgrave was selected for its singularity, strength, and a certain degree of serendipity. The school’s original site was close to Mulgrave Place in West Vancouver. The school subsequently developed a special relationship with the Earl of Mulgrave, Marques of Normandy. He has visited his namesake school on four occasions and was present at the official opening of the school in the fall of 2001.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
