Earl Haig Secondary School

I attended what was then Earl Haig Collegiate Institute from 1951 to 1956 (yes when grade 13 still existed!). The school then had about 1,100 students and the building was nowhere near the size or beauty of the present structure. It was a tough curriculum - in grade 13 I had a course load of 9 subjects that included 3 math, 2 science and 2 foreign languages. I recall there were 9 classes when I entered 9th grade but only 3 or 5 when I reached grade 13. It was a no-nonsense, solid learning experience and I am appreciative of my time there. I was fortunate to have taken grades 7 & 8 in one year so I was only 17 when I graduated from Earl Haig. I encourage all current and future students to make the most of your time during your high school experience. It will affect the rest of your life. Don't waste it!

Great school for having fun. Depends on who your friends with either you skip everyday or you don't. I would recommend a private school for better education since the stuff they teach in this school is a joke. The teachers aren't bad. Hey Ms Khan if u ever see this I'm sorry for passing out in your class everyday for a whole year... Lol I was always high and never really cared about English class. To this day I haven't passed English class but I make 6 digits so I'm pretty happy haha

Still go here for another year until I graduate 2018-2022. There are some really good teachers that you connect with, and of course some that you really don't like. This school has a lot of students, lots of pushing and shoving near the second floor to get to your classes.Multiple opportunities available, over 60 clubs and councils. The school and art events are amazing. Art Gallery is probably my favorite place to wander the halls. Hope to be in person again.

Hall monitors loudly knocking on the bathroom doors shouting LETS GO GET TO CLASS COME ON" BANG BANG BANGTreating us like prisoners in the Stanford prison experiment not like students."

It's a good school.Teachers are friendly, most staff are ready to help you out and teach.The library would be my favorite place in the school. It has a great collection of books, comics, and reading materials to help you get through assignments and the day. The computer lab is decked out with nice computers.Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fully experience my Grade 12 senior year here, so that would be my only regret.2020, year of COVID-19

A private school with a bunch of people that think they are the best because the school is in the top 5 best schools in Canada. Only way to get in is to audition and be the very best or have multi million dollars to live close to the school.

Used to go here from 2009-2012. Amazing high school in so many ways. Really strong arts program with inspiring and passionate students practicing their craft, had the pleasure of seeing many great performances in arguably the best high school auditorium in the city. Many clubs and councils to choose from, some of which go above and beyond with their events and activities. Great selection of unique classes such as beauty class (with hair and makeup) and very clean and modern halls. Neighbourhood also offers a lot in terms of food, entertainment, and parks. Teachers can be hit or miss but thats the case for every school in the city. I wasn't into arts before coming here but some of my favourite memories ended up being art related (animation and film projects, classical guitar performance, etc). Anyways if you go here today, realize its a privilege and treat the school and the students accordingly.

Arts, academics, sports, clubs, staff and student support, opportunities from club-wide to the international level, access to public transport, weird kids of all ethnicities and clothing choices for you to befriend... what else do you need? Remember kids school is what you make of it and this place has A LOT to offer.

I heard bad things about the teachers in this school as well. Most schools around this area don't offer strong support against bullying.
