HP300: Morrisburg High School

Morrisburg High School (formerly Morrisburg Collegiate Institute) was Morrisburg's first High School (Grammar School), established in 1864. It operated on the top floor of the public school. A separate building was erected in 1886 on the corner of Second and McKenzie streets. The high school was elevated to the rank of "Collegiate Institute" in 1890. The 1886 building and all school records were destroyed by fire in 1925. The present building was constructed between 1925 and 1926. It served the community for 41 years, closing in 1967.

The building still survives today on Ottawa Street and has been converted to house the South Dundas Township Municipal Offices and the St. Lawrence Medical Clinic.
