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:
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
