'''Pictou Academy''' ('''PA'''), founded in [[1816]] by [[Dr. Thomas McCulloch]], is a [[secondary school]] in [[Pictou, Nova Scotia]]. Prior to the twentieth century, it was a private school for boys, but is now a public school teaching grades 9-12. Pictou Academy's current principal is James Ryan. The Pictou Academy Educational Foundation, established in [[1916]], provides funds to the school. |
|||
[[Dr. Thomas McCulloch]], on a trip to [[Prince Edward Island]], was convinced to stay the winter in [[Pictou]] to avoid a rough crossing of the [[Northumberland Strait]]. He quickly fell in love with the town and began to serve as a local pastor. Before long he saw how lacking the educational system of [[Nova Scotia]] was and so decided that a "collage for people of all races and denominations" should be constructed. After a 12 year struggle, the government of [[Nova Scotia]] finally allowed him to begin work on his dream school but he was not permitted to make it a collage and so the foundation of the new Pictou Academy was laid. |
|||
When Pictou Academy was founded, it was located in a building in downtown [[Pictou, Nova Scotia]]. This school was moved to a new building "Up On The Hill". This second building later burned down, and was replaced by a third. This third building also burned, and to replace it, the fourth and current building for Pictou Academy was built in [[1938]]. |
