Neil McNeil High School (NMHS) is an all-boys Roman Catholic secondary school of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, named after Neil McNeil, an archbishop for Roman Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver from 1910 to 1912 and a Roman Catholic Archbishop of Toronto from 1912 to 1934. Neil McNeil is one of 31 high schools run by the TCDSB and one of four all-boys schools, and currently has an enrollment of 871 students. Its school motto is “Fidelitas in Arduis”, which translates to''Faith In Hard Times''. ==History== (詳細はHoly Ghost Fathers came from Ireland. Their original purpose was to get missionaries as Archbishop James Charles McGuigan wanted an all-boys school in east Toronto and the first high school in Scarborough that was founded in 1958 by the Holy Ghost Fathers. The school was named after Neil McNeil, Archbishop of Toronto from 1912 to 1934. During his entire term as Archbishop, he fought tirelessly for the extension of funding for Catholic secondary schools. He demonstrated in both words and deeds the school motto “Fidelitas in Arduis”, which translates to “Faith In Hard Times”. From its inception, priests came out to teach. The first principal was Father Troy until his retirement in 1965. At first the school was a two story building with no gym and no cafeteria. In 1960, the third floor and gymnatorium as well as the cafeteria were added. In 1967, the school entered an agreement with the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board, where, by Grade 9 and 10, students would be under the publicly funded separate school system and Grades 11, 12, and 13 would continue as a private school. Since 1987, the school was fully funded by government and Neil McNeil was ceased as a private school. The school was maintained and operated fully by the MSSB although the Spiritans continue to lease the school. Even though the last priest-principal of the school retired in 1990, the Spiritan presence is alive and well through the Spiritan Scholarship Fund established in 1995. By 1998, the fund disbursed more than $50,000 in scholarship awards for students going to university or community college. Notre Dame is the "Sister School" of Neil McNeil Catholic Secondary School located not far from Neil McNeil. Both of these schools are regarded as among the oldest and most discriminative high schools in the TCDSB and in the city of Toronto. It is a school renowned for its elaborate and spirited school assemblies and tight knit community. Neil McNeil's patron saint is the Holy Spirit. The Toronto Catholic District School Board acquired Neil McNeil's school facilities from the Spiritans' in 2009. 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「Neil McNeil High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
