History & Tradition
Holy Rosary Catholic School is located next to Holy Rosary Church in midtown Toronto. Both the school and the church serve a dynamic and diverse community that includes neighbourhoods of varied socio-economic strata as well as people from many ethno-cultural backgrounds.
The
cornerstone of the original Holy Rosary Church was laid on May 8, 1892. At
that time a large Irish Catholic community was settling in the St. Clair -
Bathurst area. The original school was built in 1921 and had an enrolment
of 83 students in its first year. Additions to the original school
structure were made in 1963 and 1973.
Holy
Rosary Catholic School in 2002 with its 380 students stands in marked
contrast to the school in 1921. While the focus remains on academic
excellence, students today have the opportunity to participate in a wide
range of co-curricular activities that reinforce classroom learning.
These include student council, inter-school and house league sports
teams, class excursions, music
groups, art enrichment, W5H, and after-school piano classes.
The Holy Rosary Catholic School Advisory Council and the staff of Holy Rosary Church play integral roles in the life of the school that continue to ensure our tradition of excellence.
