Brampton High School

Brampton High School was a high school in Brampton, Ontario, Canada established in 1877, to accommodate the older students of Central Public and Grammar School. The photo from PAMA shows the main front doors; left doors for the boys, right doors for the girls.[1]

Students from the school were dispersed to the existing Central Peel Secondary School in Brampton, new Brampton Centennial Secondary School, and the J. A. Turner Secondary School in Toronto Township.[2]

The Brampton High School structure was used in 1967 as one of Sheridan College's first two campuses, the second being in Port Credit.[3] Most of their 1200 students in 1969 were at the Brampton campus.[4] In 1972, in response to a freeze in new government construction, one official commented "the old Brampton high school is going to fall down pretty soon, I suppose."[5] Sheridan moved out in 1977.[2]

The structure was put up for sale in 1977 at a cost of $1 million, when the Peel Board of Education deemed that fire safety renovations were too costly to pursue.[2]
