W. D. Lowe Secondary School (also known as Lowe High School, Lowe Technical School, and Lowe Vocational School) was a public secondary school in downtown Windsor, Ontario from 1921 until 2000. == History == Located on Giles Boulevard East at Parent Ave. The school began as Walkerville Technical School, later Windsor-Walkerville Technical School. The famous writer, Herman Voaden taught there during the 1920s. It was renamed to W. D. Lowe in the 1940s after a former principal of the school, William Duff Lowe. When Lowe's first Grade 13 class wrote the Ontario Departmentals in 1966, it received the highest average of all secondary schools in Windsor.〔Al Roach, "Lowe Tech: Knuckle Sandwiches and Scoffed Textbooks", Life and Times: Memories of Walkerville http://www.walkervilletimes.com/lowetech.htm〕 For most of its history, Lowe was an all-male school. It became co-educational in 1974 when the majority of students from nearby J. C. Patterson Collegiate Institute transferred there after its closure. W.D Lowe Secondary School was now a Composite School, housing Academic, Technical and Business programs. Along with a Principal (at the time Roy Battagelo), along with a Vice Principal, there were now 3 Department Heads in charge of each program. The "new" school was given a new motto: "EX UNO DISCE OMNES" which in English is "From One, Learn of All". In the 1960s, enrollment was over 1600 students, but by the end of the 1990s, it had dwindled considerably. The school closed in June 2000.〔Elaine Weeks and Erika Muscat, "Lowe Doors Closed," Places: Past and Present http://www.walkervilletimes.com/wdlowe.htm〕 Notable Students Peter Hedgewick.
