History

Designed by the architects Abram and Ingleson, Sir Robert L. Borden Secondary School was built in 1964 and was opened on September 6, 1966 by the Scarborough Board of Education as a first occupational school in the eastern Scarborough community and the second technical school. The school was one of two schools based on Bendale Secondary School which had opened in 1963.[1] Since 1987, the school used the present name, Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. The school celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1991.

The school's official colours are blue and gold. As of 2014, only 281 students are enrolled at Borden with 78 female students and 203 male students.
