We are proud and honored that our school, opened in 1962, is named after this exemplary Canadian. His outstanding leadership and achievement in scholarship, sports and service to his community serve as a worthy model for each student.
Our school colours, maroon and light-blue, are the colours used by the Honourable Eric Hamber's race horses. Our school motto in Latin, "Respice, Aspice, Prospice" (pronounced res-pee-kay, as-pee-kay, pros-pee-kay) means "look to the past, look to the present, look to the future".
Students will demonstrate intellectual, social, aesthetic and physical excellence in a setting that reflects diversity, fosters cooperation, mutual respect, and individual growth, and prepares students to become responsible members of society.
