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:
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
