History
The school recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The first Philip Pocock location opened in 1981 and was at the site where John Cabot Catholic Secondary School is currently located. Then, due to an ever increasing student population, Philip Pocock was temporarily located at Vincent Massey Collegiate in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1987 to 1992 until construction of the new, permanent third location was completed at the intersection of Tomken Road and Eglinton Avenue in Mississauga. The third and current location at Tomken and Eglinton opened in 1992.
