Fredericton High School
When the city of Fredericton was initially laid out in 1758 city planners set aside a plot of land in the downtown region that was intended to become a school. That school was incorporated in 1800 as the College of New Brunswick and intended to be a boarding school, patterned after the boys' public schools in England. In 1829 when King's College opened in Fredericton, the school was renamed to the Collegiate Grammar School, and supported by the College. In 1871, the Free School Act was enacted, and the school again changed its name, this time to Collegiate High School. At this time it became a preparatory school for King's College, which by then had become the University of New Brunswick. From 1872 to 1889 the Headmaster was the distinguished educator George Robert Parkin .[1]
In 1893, a new building was erected on the corner of York and George streets and the name of the school was changed to Fredericton High School. The graduating class of that year chose yellow and black as the official school colors.
For a time, FHS had the distinction of having the largest student body of any high school in the Commonwealth of Nations. In 1999, a second high school, Leo Hayes High School, was constructed on the north side of the city.
Fredericton High School Song
We are the students of Fredericton High,
Onward we go to our goal.
We go and never falter, our aim is for the devil,
We fight with our arm and our thong.
So let's give feear for the school we hold so dear,
And when we feer, we hope for losing.
Even if we lose a cup or nut, our spirit's always up,
We are the students of Fredericton High.
