School History and Tradition

St. Eugene Catholic School opened in September 1970 to serve the needs of children living in the Islington Avenue and Richview Side Road area of Weston. Located in the former City of Etobicoke, the school was designed as an open-concept facility and built to accommodate approximately 340 students from Kindergarten to Grade 8.

St. Eugene is one of three schools in All Saints Parish and is named after Pope Eugene I, a Roman who was raised in the service of the Church and served as pope from 654 to 657 AD. Historians describe him as “outstanding for his sanctity” and “gentle and affable with the poor.”

Reverend Martin O’Grady, pastor of All Saints Church, suggested the name to the Board in memory of his late father, Martin Eugene O’Grady.
