History

Originally constructed as Mary Jane Shannon Junior Secondary in 1971 (incorrect as I attended MJS in 1967), the school was renamed Guildford Park Secondary in 1977 due to clerical mixups with Mary Jane Shannon Elementary, which was next door. Guildford Park Secondary was rebuilt as an 8-12 school in 1984.
