Alderwood Collegiate Institute (Alderwood CI, ACI, or Alderwood, named Alderwood Secondary School and Alderwood High School prior) is a former public high school that existed from 1955 to 1983 under the governance of the Etobicoke Board of Education (now part of the Toronto District School Board) and that served the Alderwood neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The portion of the Alderwood site was transferred to the TDSB's realtor arm, Toronto Lands Corporation (TLC) in 2011 and sold to Urbancorp, a housing developer in August 2012. ==History== In 1952, the Etobicoke Board of Education had originally intended a middle school in the present site. With overcrowding at Royal York Collegiate Institute, the board decided to purchase the 15.87 acre Shields Site for $148,000. The northern porition would be then used for Douglas Park Junior School which opened in 1956. Gordon S. Adamson and Associates were commissioned as architects for the Alderwood project. Construction began in July 30, 1954, but the flooding from Hurricane Hazel caused an delay. The school was opened on September 6, 1955 to the first 340 students with the official opening ceremony November 1955. With increasing population, four classrooms, a science lab, a commercial room, an new auditorium and enlarged cafeteria were added in 1960. Alderwood had its amazing athletic program such as football, cross country, wrestling, basketball, and more. In September 1980, New Toronto Secondary School, Royal York Collegiate Institute (now Etobicoke School of the Arts), and Alderwood underwent a review due to low enrolment as many catholic immigrants who arrived in the area transferred their children to the separate school system when full separate school funding commenced. As a consequence, on June 24, 1981, the Etobicoke Board approved the closure of Alderwood and New Toronto whose students were combined into the newly renamed Lakeshore Collegiate Institute on June 25, 1983, with the afternoon closing ceremonies. Since the merger of Etobicoke's first catholic high school, Michael Power/St. Joseph High School in 1982, the main campus suffered overcrowding resulting the Alderwood building being leased to the Metropolitan Separate School Board (later the Toronto Catholic District School Board) from the Etobicoke Board of Education. It was reopened as the south campus of Michael Power/St. Joseph. In September 1986, Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School was established. The school later moved to a new building in New Toronto's large former Mimico Lunatic Asylum grounds in 2006 after its buildings were deteriorated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alderwood Collegiate Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
