Founding

St. John's started in 1909 at Luxton School, on the second floor. That first year there were 89 students, and 4 teachers. Mr. Campbell was principal. Orange and brown became the school colours. In 1912, with the completion of the building at Machray and Salter, the school moved to its present location. [1]

Designed by Winnipeg school architect J. B. Mitchell and built between 1910 and 1912, St. John's Technical High School opened for classes in 1912. [2] Its twin, Kelvin Technical High School, opened around the same time for students from the southern part of the city. With exteriors of Tyndall stone and red brick, the interior floor plans for the two schools were identical. [3] :187 The basement housed rooms for “technical” instruction in machining, woodworking, electrical work, mechanical drawing, and plumbing; dressing rooms for the gymnasium; the boiler room; four toilets; and two offices for teachers.
