Having been opened in 1955, as a military training facility during the cold war era, Scona has been around much longer than many of the other schools in the Edmonton area. Due to the age of Scona, there are a few ghosts that are rumored to wander the halls and grounds of the school. Possibly the most notable ghost at Scona is a girl by the name of Emily. Emily used to be a student at Scona, and was very active in the drama program. During a play that Emily was participating in, a stage light fell from the house bar, it struck and killed her on the stage. Still to this day there are often problems with the house bar, and the stage elevator that Emily so often liked to ride.
I removed the above because there's no references and it contradicts the school opening date. -- Usgnus 03:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
This particular school did open in 1955, this being the newer building. The original Strathcona had opened in 1908 as stated in Establishment date, now known as "
Old Scona" (OSA) reference: [
[1]], noting the first paragraph.
I am asking users on this page not to remove the information about the ghost as it is an important 'tidbit' of information about student activities in the school. I would like to say as a current member of Strathcona's Technical Theater Crew I like to see any mention of the arts at scona as we have a vibrant and very successful arts program that should be lauded just as much as sports or academics!

please do not remove the theater section, it is a relevent part of scona! Lord & proud of it ( talk) 01:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
This section needs proper citation, both for what is up and for the changes that have been attempted to be put up. Sconite 04:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I've moved this from Strathcona Composite High School since the shorter form seems to be the more common usage. Even the school's page jsut uses "Strathcona High School" Meters ( talk) 20:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
I've removed the unsourced claim of a $455 million modernization project. I can't find a source for the actual amount but I doubt it was that much since that would have been about one-third of everything the province put into education facilities over a three-year period.
