Barrie Central Collegiate - Past

Barrie Central Collegiate is Barrie's oldest and most storied institution. The Original school was granted in August 1843 when Governor-General Sir Charles Metcalfe issued a proclamation appointing trustees for a Grammar School Board in the District of Simcoe. In 1849 forty-five pupils sat in classrooms at the official site on the north side of Blake Street. During the 1870's the school had grown so large it's graduation ceremony had to be held in the public school building. By 1879 a new building was opened. In 1911 as enrollment further increased, the need for a new building was once again put forth to the board but it was a large fire in 1917 which burned down the school that forced the decision for a new location. In 1918 the present site was chosen, which at the time was a part of the Agricultural Park. Construction on the new school lasted until 1919 when it was officially opened on May 8, 1919. The school was designed so that extra rooms could easily be added, which is exactly what has happened over the past 78 years. In 1929 a Commercial Wing was added. A West Wing was added in 1952 and in 1963 the Vocational Wing along with the present Auditorium were built. The final renovations to the exterior building were completed in 1973, with the replacement of the 1919-1929 structure.

Barrie Central Collegiate - Present

Today, Barrie Central is a vibrant centre of learning! Internationally known for its academic excellence, its concert bands and their globe-trotting tours, its award winning classics education and its championship athletic excellence, Barrie Central offers a variety of educational experiences to all prospective students. In 1997 the old "REDSKINS" logo was replaced with the present PHOENIX as the symbol adorning the hallways and spirit wear. The Phoenix was a powerful bird capable of tremendous feats of strength yet shed tears that could heal all wounds. Visitors to Central can see a wonderous version of the Phoenix - a 12 metre high mural in the main gymnasium. One of the things that sets Central apart from "those other schools" is the annual Teachers Holiday Assembly - a hillarious vaudville-type spectacle that showcases the awesome talent of Central's fantastic teachers.
