Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute
Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (K.C.V.I.) is a secondary school in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1792 by Reverend John Stuart based upon a grant for secondary education in the colony of Upper Canada, it moved to its present location in 1892. It is considered the oldest public secondary school in Ontario and the second oldest in Canada.
K.C.V.I was Kingston's only secondary school until the opening of Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute (Q.E.C.V.I.) in 1955 and Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute (L.C.V.I.) in 1963.
In 2012, K.C.V.I. was ranked by the (Fraser Institute ) as the top performing school in the Limestone Board and in the top 10% of public schools in Ontario.
==History==
KCVI's history starts with the Kingston Grammar school in 1792. In 1807, the school was renamed Midland District Grammar School.〔McKendry, Jennifer. "Chronology of the City of Kingston." Kingston: Kingston Historical Society, 2000. http://www.kingstonhistoricalsociety.ca/chronology.html.〕 From c. 1825–30, the future first prime minister of Canada, John A. Macdonald, attended the school.〔Milnes, Arthur ed. "Sir John A. Macdonald: Father of Confederation." City of Kingston Website. http://www.cityofkingston.ca/explore/history/sir-john-a.〕 In c. 1853 the school moved to a new location - now Sydenham Public School - and was renamed Kingston County Grammar School.〔McKendry, Jennifer. "Chronology of the City of Kingston." Kingston: Kingston Historical Society, 2000. http://www.kingstonhistoricalsociety.ca/chronology.html.〕 It was renamed Kingston High School in 1871, becoming Kingston Collegiate Institute (KCI) in 1872.〔McKendry, Jennifer. "Chronology of the City of Kingston." Kingston: Kingston Historical Society, 2000. http://www.kingstonhistoricalsociety.ca/chronology.html.〕 Girls were first admitted as students in January 1877, and the school has remained co-educational ever since. Fifteen years later, at the institution's centenary in 1892, the school moved to its present site on Frontenac Street.〔McKendry, Jennifer. "Chronology of the City of Kingston." Kingston: Kingston Historical Society, 2000. http://www.kingstonhistoricalsociety.ca/chronology.html.〕 Finally, with the addition of a technical and commercial teaching wing in 1931, the school was renamed Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI), the name it retains to this day.〔McKendry, Jennifer. "Chronology of the City of Kingston." Kingston: Kingston Historical Society, 2000. http://www.kingstonhistoricalsociety.ca/chronology.html.〕 The oldest remaining wing of the school is the 1915 wing, which now houses science laboratories. The original wing was destroyed by fire and has since been replaced. The school celebrated its bicentenary in 1992 and is now 222 years old. The school is commonly recognized as the oldest public high school in Ontario and the second oldest in the country.
