Bishop Mountain Public School

Found this in a box in the basement. All the boys wore them on their mandatory blazers. Look familiar to anyone?

And Roset was still there ! After all these years. And the CIBC.

This is how Bishop Mountain PS looks today. Pretty much like it always did, except for no fence at the front and some blue and yellow pavement paint.

I dropped by Bishop Mountain Public School while visiting Sillery and was completely astounded by a stone outer wall inside the school. The long hallway with Grades 2 to 7, was now beginning with an original outer wall of stone and church window type windows. Lovely people now working there took me around and showed me all the changes. They had discovered this outer wall when they went to put a door through to what was our Grade 1, from the main hallway. (The door to Grade 1 had always been from the old section, around the corner.)

From Robert Henvell Butcher:

When the scribe enrolled in Bishop Mountain School in the autumn of 1939, there were seven grades in one class room.It was the front building of the present structure.

Did you know ?

Quebec High School came into being when Commissioners’ High School, a co-educational high school under the jurisdiction of the Protestant Board of Commissioners of Quebec City, and the High School of Quebec, a private high school for boys, were amalgamated in 1941. The following is a brief outline of this history:

1769 John Fraser opens first English language school in Quebec City
1804 High School of Quebec established
1875 Girls’ High School founded
1918 Commissioners’ High School named
1941 Quebec High School opened – addition of Webster Auditorium and Pollack Hall

Does anyone remember the name of our Kindergarten teacher or Nursery School teacher? (The Nursery School was at her home.) The Nursery School teacher was the mother of the Kindergarten teacher. Both had the same last name.

Quebec High School - a little different than when I was there:
"we offer specialized programs such as: French Mother Tongue, Basketball Concentration First and Second Cycle; Soccer Concentration in Cycle I, Arts Études-Integrated Arts, enriched curriculum in the Arts, Ceramics, Robotics, Spanish, Woodworking as well as Media and Communications."

Quebec High School QUEBEC HIGH SCHOOL is located in the historic city of Québec. The school is located at the corner of the avenue Belvédère and boulevard René-Lévesque, and is served by four major bus routes; the 800, 801, 25 and 10 as well as a number of express busses.

Most of us went to Quebec High School:
