[edit] History
St. Paul's College/High School was founded in 1926 under the Oblate fathers at a location on Selkirk Avenue in Winnipeg. By 1933, direction of the College had been taken over by diocesan clergy, and direction of the High School was given to the Jesuits, with Fr. John Holland, S.J., being the school's first rector. This period also saw the school relocated to its second location on Ellice Avenue in Winnipeg with construction being completed in 1939.
Between 1958 and 1964, St. Paul's College was moved to its current location on the campus of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.
From 1964 to 1966, the high school was relocated to its third and current location on Grant Avenue in Winnipeg.
In 1983, the first lay principal of the school, Larry Franz, was appointed.
[edit] Rectors/Directors/Presidents
The head of the high school has gone by different names in St. Paul's history. The first through ninth heads were known as ¨Rectors,¨ while heads after this time were referred to as Directors. In 2003, in order to establish a unity with Jesuit schools in the United States, Fr. Joseph Mróz, SJ changed to position title to ¨President.¨
