History

In 1941, Brantford Catholic High School opened in the basement of St. Ann's Elementary School with just one Grade 9 class. A new class was added each year until 1951 when the school moved to a former residence on Dufferin Ave. From 1951 to 1978, the priests of the Congregation of the Resurrection acted as the principals. In 1959, the schools name changed to St. John's College.

In 1991, enrolment exceeded 1700 students. This necessitated the opening of Assumption College in September, 1992.

In 2001, Holy Trinity, Simcoe was built to decrease the large populations at Assumption College and St. Johns College.

After, it was recognized that the school population was growing, and an expansion was needed. The 3rd floor was built, including new classrooms, science labs, and a cosmetology lab.
