Mission Statement
University Hill School began as a kindergarten to grade 12 school in 1927 on the site of what is now known as University Hill Elementary School. The K-12 school remained on that site until 1954 when the secondary school split from the elementary school and was built on the existing site on Acadia Road. Both schools were run by its own unique school board from 1927–1971, by special UEL elections. In 1971, University Hill Secondary School joined the Vancouver School Board.
The school is situated next to Pacific Spirit Regional Park, which is a forest. University Hill’s school colours are purple and teal. There are two logos, one is historical, with UHS on a traditional shield; and the other is a stylized hawk symbolising an affinity with nature and a commitment to action. 2003 marked the 75th anniversary of University Hill Secondary School.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“A sentence is made up of words, a statement is made in words.... Statements are made, words or sentences are used.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
