History

Plaque commemorating First BC School

The earliest history of schools in Western Canada is within the boundary of the current Greater Victoria School district. The first school in the area that is present day British Columbia was established at Fort Victoria in the 1840s. A plaque to commemorate this can be found on the side of the Christmas Store on Government and Fort Street in downtown Victoria.

The first public school was opened in 1853 near what is now Central Middle School. This building later became Victoria High School.

When the area became part of the province of British Columbia there were already three school districts in the area; the Victoria City School District was established on June 25, 1869, the Esquimalt School District (October 22, 1870) and Craigflower School District (July 23, 1870).

SD 61 School Boards

1988/1990 Trustees

The six candidates elected on Saturday, November 19, 1988 to serve from December 1, 1988 until December 1, 1990 were:[1] David Brown, Elizabeth Cull, Brenda McBain, Peter Yorke and Brian Zelley

One of the interesting issues during the two year term was the naming of the new elementary school "Rogers Elementary School" which featured some debate in the board room: "Trustees disagree on name choice for new Saanich elementary school"[2]
