Scarborough Academy of Technological, Environmental and Computer Education @ W. A. Porter Collegiate Institute (SATEC, WAPCI, or Porter) is a secondary school located in Scarborough, Toronto, Canada. The school, part of the Toronto District School Board was previously ran by its previous school board prior to merger, the Scarborough Board of Education. Porter's motto is ''Vincit qui se Vincit'' which means "He conquers who conquers himself". ==History== Located in a 14.9 acre land, W. A. Porter Collegiate Institute had laid its cornerstone laid and constructed in 1957 and opened for classes on September 9, 1958 to serve the south-west area of Scarborough as the city's fifth collegiate. The building was designed by the late architect Harold Carter and associates. The namesake, William Arnot Porter (1893-1956) began teaching in 1922 at Scarborough High School as a science teacher, specializing in the science of agriculture. He became the school’s principal in 1954, and continued his lifelong work until his death in 1956. By 1961, the swimming pool was added. Additions were made in subsequent years. In 1988, the SBE was threatened to close Porter to allow occupancy by Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies, opened in 1986 at the former Tabor Park Vocational School, whose latter campus was turned over to the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board), but since been overturned.〔Daly, Rita. "(Trustees resent turning school over to Catholics )." ''Toronto Star''. September 20, 1988. News p. A7. Retrieved on July 29, 2013.〕 At the beginning of the 1997-98 school year, W. A. Porter Collegiate adopted its official present name and was designated SATEC @ W. A. Porter Collegiate Institute by the SBE although the original name continues to exist. As of the 2000-01 academic year, Porter's attendance area was expanded after the former Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute closed in June of that year. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008, coinciding with the PEO Engineering Education Conference of the same year. In 2010, Porter C.I. became a certified, platinum Eco-School of the TDSB. Porter also has a range of specialized programs like MST(Math and Science Technology), Cisco, High Skills Major, and many more. 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「SATEC @ W. A.
