Morrison Glace Bay High School 1985

Origins

The school opened in September 1947 replacing the old Glace Bay High School across the street. The old Glace Bay High was converted to house junior high students and operated until it was demolished in 1976 when Morrison High was expanded via the building of an annex. The school was named after the then Mayor of Glace Bay, Dan Willie Morrison who played a large role in the founding of the new facility.

The student body over the years was made of up students from Glace Bay, Dominion, Reserve Mines, Donkin, Port Morien and some of the other surrounding areas.^[1] Glace Bay (2001 pop. ... Dominion is a town that is now part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada; located 6 kilometres west of Glace Bay. ...

Major Expansions

In August 1964 a gymnasium was built on the site of the old outdoor ice rink. ^[1]

In 1976 a new annex was completed which linked the high school on one side of McLean street with the gymnasium on the other. The street now bisected by the new annex became a dead end on one side with the part now surrounded by the school becoming a pedestrian courtyard. In addition to joining the school and the gym, the new annex relieved overcrowding by providing additional classrooms, two science labs, a larger library, a typing lab and a music room. The former Glace Bay High School building which had been used for junior high classes since Morrison was founded in 1947 was demolished and the site used for parking.^[1]

Years of Operation

Morrison Glace Bay High School operated continuously from 1947 until 1989 when the new Glace Bay High School opened. After this date Morrison High operated as a Junior High school and was renamed Morrison Junior High. ^[1] Glace Bay High School is a high school in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. ...
