Philip Pocock Catholic Secondary School - History

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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    These anyway might think it was important
    That human history should not be shortened.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.
    Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
