History

York Humber High School was constructed in 1966 and opened on September 5, 1967 on the original Humber Blvd. building. It was designed in brutalist architecture. In 1978, adult programs were introduced.[1] By September 1988, the school had 489 students.[2]

In 1989, the school was relocated to Frank Oke Secondary School as a temporary location and the new replacement school was built on Emmett Road in 1992 designed by Nowski Partners Architects. The former location was reopened by the Metropolitan Separate School Board as Archbishop Romero Catholic Secondary School that same year.[2]

The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017.[3]
