The original school opened in 1910 and was named after the Fourth Earl Grey, the ninth Governor General of Canada (term 1904-1911). The Canadian football trophy "The Grey Cup" was named in his honour. Our current building was opened in 1962 to provide specialized facilities for Grade 7 and 8 students. On November 6th, 2010, Earl Grey celebrated its 100th Anniversary with a reunion celebration, which was attended by over 400 people.
Over 420 students attend daily, representing many cultures and socio-economic groups. The diversity of our community is one of our many strengths. Earl Grey Senior School is located south of the Danforth and east of Pape Ave. on Strathcona Avenue. It is easily accessible by TTC.
