• Illustration — Alderwood Collegiate Institute, shown here prior to demolition, merged into New Toronto to form Lakeshore. New Toronto Secondary School was originally established on September 4, 1951 by the New Toronto Board of Education to serve the town of New Toronto and emphasized the technical trades, sciences, and mathematics, to support the many industries in the town at the time. The school's roots go back to 1926 when Long Branch Continuation School was established as an extension of an elementary school with six classrooms. The vocational program began in 1950 and students moved to the new high school the following year. Another school in the area, Alderwood Collegiate Institute was also opened on September 6, 1955, with the official opening ceremony November 1955 as an academic high school. During the 1980s, enrollment at Etobicoke public schools plummeted as many catholic transferred their children to the Catholic school system when full funding commenced. This led to the closure of many schools including Alderwood Collegiate Institute, Royal York Collegiate Institute and Mimico High School. The students of those schools were consolidated with the students of New Toronto into the newly named Lakeshore Collegiate Institute which opened on September 6, 1983. • Illustration — Lakeshore's new field
