Victoria High School is the oldest public high school west of Winnipeg and north of San Francisco. It was opened on August 7, 1876, to a class of twelve girls and twenty-two boys. The first Victoria High School was a log building with two classrooms, located on the grounds of Central Junior Secondary. By 1882, the facilities of the log building were inadequate and a new building, later known as Boys' Central School, was opened. This, too, rapidly out-grew itself and a third Victoria High School was opened in 1902.
