History
University Hill opened for classes in September 1927 at its original site, which is now University Hill Elementary School. It has been at its current location since 1955. The school is currently over capacity with almost 600 students in a building built for 325. The Vancouver School Board has proposed to renovate the nearby former NRC building into a state-of-the-art high school, and turn the current high school into a new elementary school. However, the deadline of the completion of the building continues to be delayed (from January 2012 to June 2012 and then to October 2012), annoying both students and teachers.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
