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.
