Henry Kelsey Senior Public School is a school in the Toronto District School Board located in Scarborough, Ontario. It is named after Henry Kelsey, the first European known to see the prairies, the grizzly bears, the great buffalo herds, and the many Plains tribes.[3] Currently, there are about 500 students enrolled in the school.[citation needed]
The school was established in 1971[4] in the Agincourt area. Henry Kelsey has Special Education, E.S.L.[5], and LEAP programs as well as a language lab to give added support to students who need it. The school offers programs such as drama, art, vocal music and instrumental music.
The two-story building includes over 50 rooms and a large gymnasium that is able to divide into two. When the school was first built, the second-story was an open-concept, but was later renovated to include walls between the classrooms.
Kelsey's feeder schools include Chartland Jr P.S., Percy Williams Jr P.S., Lynnwood Heights Jr P.S., Alexmuir Jr P.S., A.S. Taylor Jr P.S., Brimwood Jr P.S., and Iroquois Jr P.S.. Most students who graduate from the school either go to Agincourt Collegiate Institute or Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute.[6]
