History

The original Ernest Manning High School was built in 1963, and is named after the eighth Premier of Alberta, Ernest Manning.[2]

The school is part of the Action for Bright Children Society.[3]

New campus

On October 7, 2008, the Calgary Board of Education approved and announced the closure of the existing Ernest Manning High School to facilitate the expansion of the western leg of Calgary's Light Rail Transit. The last class to graduate was in the summer of 2011 before the building was torn down.[4] The students of Ernest Manning transferred to the new high school located on the western edge of Calgary near the community of Springbank in fall 2011. The construction of the new high school was completed in September 2011.

Athletics

The Ernest Manning Griffins athletic teams compete in the Calgary Zone of the Alberta Schools Athletic Association. The school holds membership in the Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association. The school is also home to rising Canadian female track star, Sarah Lindsay Mah.[5] In 2019 the Jr. Football Team went 8–0, beating traditional powerhouses St. Francis and Notre Dame en route to a City Championship.[6]
