History
Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School was established in 1959, starting with grades 7, 8, and 9. Grades 10, 11, and 12 were eventually included and grade 7 removed (secondary school in Vancouver most commonly starts in the 8th grade, with elementary school covering kindergarten to grade 7). Tupper currently has a student population of approximately one thousand. It recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary on September 29, 2009 with hosts Friends of Tupper Fund.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“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 custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
