History

The school's namesake, Matthew McNair (1889–1971), was an early Richmond settler who arrived in 1911. After arriving, he established a milk delivery service before serving in World War I. After the war, McNair purchased some farm land in south Richmond and served on the Richmond City Council as a councillor from 1946 to 1948. [1] [2]

McNair Secondary School opened in September 1971 as Richmond's third senior secondary. Initially, it served grades 11 and 12 only, and provided a continuous education for students finishing grade 10 from McRoberts Junior Secondary. In 1996, Richmond's junior and senior secondaries were amalgamated, and every secondary school began serving students of grades 8 through 12. Coinciding this amalgamation, McNair's new drama room, new kitchen and new gymnasium were completed in September of that year. [3]

Athletics

McNair offers soccer, basketball, and volleyball. The school's basketball teams were successful in their playoffs during the 2007–08 season.
