Our Namesake
Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School is named in honour of Father Henry Carr, C.S.B. (1880–1963)—a visionary leader in Roman Catholic education in Canada. He was the founder of St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, co-founder of the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, and a passionate advocate for integrating religious education into the academic curriculum.
