[5] It is also the first secondary school to open on the city's west side before Catholic Central High School. Classes began on the afternoon of Monday, August 30, 2010, and a grand opening followed on September 17 at a final, on-budget construction cost of $45.3 million. [4] [6]

They include, football, volleyball, basketball, rugby, baseball, curling, track and field, cross country, golf, badminton and slo-pitch. Of these 11 sports, only 9 are ASAA recognized. Baseball and slo-pitch are not recognized because of the inability to play these sports in 5 out of the 8 zones due to the weather.
