PCSS Alumni Association

Welcome to the PCHS / PCSS scrapbook! Take a trip down Memory Lane with us, and peruse some long-forgotten PCHS and PCSS historical material. Soon after the PCSS Alumni Committee was formed in 2001, we decided to go on an archaeological expedition of sorts, and uncover the illustrious history of our school. What we discovered was disappointing: most of the PCSS archives had been hidden away in a storage area, out of sight and inaccessible to those who would undoubtedly appreciate them most - the PCSS alumni.

That's why the PCSS Alumni Committee decided to start a new initiative: the digitizing of our school's archives. During the next couple of years, we are going to unearth these long-hidden materials and make them available on this web site for all to enjoy. We still have a lot of work to do, but here's what we've completed so far. More archival material will be added to these pages regularly, so please check back from time to time and see what's "new".

Aerial View of PCSS and Port Credit in 1966

This is an aerial view of PCSS and Port Credit, taken in 1966 and facing south-west. The Texaco refinery and the Port Credit memorial Arena can be seen in the background. Immediately west of the school is Craigie Orchards, which was then an apple orchard.

We're looking for PCSS packrats! If you've saved any items from your high school days which you feel would make a worthwhile addition to this web site - photographs, music concert programmes, school newspapers, local newspaper articles about our school etc. - then please contact us so that we can make arrangements to borrow and digitize them. We will treat your submissions with the utmost care, and return them to you in the same condition.
