Earl Haig Secondary School, high school in Toronto, Canada
Earl Haig Secondary School is a public high school in Toronto serving students in grades nine through twelve. The main building features modern architecture with extensive glass elements, notably the distinctive Wavy Hall with curved glass sections that connects the auditorium and music rooms.
The school was founded in the early 1930s as a traditional brick building serving the community. In the mid-1990s, the structure underwent major reconstruction, with a modern new building officially opening in 1997 to replace much of the original facility.
The school takes its name from Field Marshal Earl Haig and is often called Haig by students and staff. It reflects Toronto's diversity, with students from many countries creating a multilingual and multicultural environment throughout the hallways.
The school is easily accessible by public transport with bus and subway connections and is located in a residential North York neighborhood. The school day runs from morning through early afternoon, leaving students time for after-school activities and clubs.
The school houses the Claude Watson Arts Program since 1982, a specialized curriculum for students focused on dance, drama, music, film arts, and visual arts with an audition requirement. Notable alumni include singer Deborah Cox and filmmaker Sarah Polley, who continue to influence the school's creative culture.
