History

Mount Royal opened its doors in 1960, as one of two Saskatoon west side Public High Schools, the other being Bedford Road Collegiate which was inaugurated in 1923. Mount Royal was located at the corner of Avenue W and Rusholme Road, where it still stands today. With additions of various labs and classrooms, the school has grown to occupy the entire block on Avenue W from Rusholme Road to 29th Street. Classes are also held in the old Estey Elementary School on Whitney Avenue, where its now called the Royal West Campus. The school originally offered academic studies until 1967, when it opened to skills education such as a Carpentry and Home Economics class. Today, Mount Royal provides a mix of academic and practical programming. In addition, some specialized programs offered at Mount Royal include a complete Cosmetology program and the High School Carpentry Apprenticeship Program (HCAP). The school also provides courses in "English as an Additional Language" (EAL) for new Canadians, Life Skills Work Study (LSWS) programs and a comprehensive offering of vocational and academic programs which are suitable for learners who have diverse learning needs, styles and requirements.

gollark: Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios. It offers a very wide range of compression / speed trade-off, while being backed by a very fast decoder (see benchmarks below). It also offers a special mode for small data, called dictionary compression, and can create dictionaries from any sample set. Zstandard library is provided as open source software using a BSD license.
