Dr. Marion Hilliard Senior Public School was named after the Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Women's College Hospital in 1947 until she retired in 1956. In 1947 she along with others developed a simplified procedure for detecting early symptoms of cancer. It is a school with a highly diverse student population, both culturally, economically and linguistically. Our grade 7 students are primarily from five junior elementary schools: Malvern, Grey Owl, Tom Longboat, Burrows Hall, and Berner Trail. Our staff is committed to motivating and challenging students to maximize their potentials in all areas of the curriculum so that they can become optimally rounded citizens of Canada and the world.
