History
Shortly after McDougall School opened in 1913, the commercial classes from Victoria High School moved into the second floor due to overcrowding and became known as McDougall Commercial High School— home of the famous Commercial Grads basketball team. In 1929, a fire destroyed most of the building and classes were transferred to Old Garneau School on 111 Street and 84 Avenue. The school was quickly restored. In 1949, McDougall Commercial High School closed and the classes were transferred to Victoria Composite High School.
John A. McDougall School was known as McDougall School from 1914 to 2000. The school's name was changed to John A. McDougall School in 2000-2001.
