Bowmanville High School (also known as BHS) is a public secondary school located in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, within the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. The school includes Grades 9 – 12, and offers a French Immersion program. The principal at Bowmanville High School is David Boone. [2] The current location was established in 1971, and opened to students in September 1972. [3]
The original Bowmanville High School was built and opened in 1890. [4] It was located closer to downtown Bowmanville on Queen Street, at the end of Division Street south. In 1929, the high school was expanded upon with a new section. Another section was added in 1954. In 1972, the high school moved to its current location on Liberty Street, leaving the original building empty. [3] In 1974, a fire destroyed much of the school, including the roof and original 1890 section, leaving only the 1920s and 1950s additions standing. [5]
The former High school building was renovated and re-opened as BSPS in 1975 as an intermediate school for students in Grades 7 and 8. [6] It was open for 32 years until its closure in 2007. [7] In the years after the closure, the school was left boarded-up and abandoned. The building became notorious for vandalism, break-ins and arson, with four fires in 2014 alone. [8] Demolition began in 2015 and by 2016 the property had been cleared out. A seniors retirement residence now resides on the property.
BHS offers Advanced Placement (AP) and pre-AP courses in Math and English. Students can begin their enrichment program in Grade 9 to receive a more challenging program and, in Grade 12, AP students will have the opportunity to write AP exams. [9]
