WELLAND HIGH SCHOOL
[Welland Tribune, 4 September 1900]
The Welland High School opens today with the following highly qualified teaching staff-
- H.M. McCuaig, principal, classics
- James McNiece, mathematics
- Miss Laven, moderns
- Miss Foster, commercial work.
In this school is taught every grade of high school work, including senior leaving (or first class) work.
The large number of successful candidates at the late examinations, from the Welland High School, places this institution ahead of all other high schools in the Niagara district, and the results of the past year’s work were equal, if not better, than at the Niagara Falls Collegiate Institute.
The progressive board of trustees are doing everything in their power to still further “advance” the standing of the school.
During the holiday season just closed, several hundred dollars were expended on the building. Metal ceilings have been placed on the three class-rooms and vestibule of the second storey; all of different and very neat designs and painted white. The walls throughout have been painted a gray shade, and the woodwork an olive green. A convenient vestibule has been partitioned off from the main hall, and in the partition are placed large double-swing spring-hinged doors finished in natural wood.
Besides these, minor repairs and changes have been made.
Every room in the building now presents an appearance of cleanliness that will be an incentive to the students to work with neatness and despatch.
The board is to be complimented on their economic arrangements which have enabled them to make these improvements without requiring an increased appropriation.
