HistoryWagar High School opened in 1963, and its first graduating class was in 1965. The school was named after Roy E. Wagar, the vice-chairman of the school board, who died a year earlier during a speech at Monkland High School's graduation ceremony.[4] The building was designed by architects Henry Greenspoon, Philip Freedlander and Joseph Dunne.[5] Over many years, particularly in the 70s, Wagar High School enjoyed a reputation for high academic achievement, consistently scoring at the top of the provincial rankings, and regularly eclipsing teams from rival high schools such as West Hill, Mount Royal, Loyola, Father MacDonald and others, in the CBC Television quiz show Reach For The Top. After years of declining enrollment, Wagar High School was closed in 2005. The Wagar building was renamed the Giovanni Palatucci Facility on May 16, 2006, after World War II hero Giovanni Palatucci, who risked and eventually gave his life to save 5000 Jews, in recognition of the large percentage of Jewish students at Wagar during most of its history. [6]The English Montreal School Board announced plans to reopen the high school as Wallenberg Academy for the 2011-12 school year, as a sports specialty school.[7] The name honours the memory of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who is credited with saving up to 100,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
