John Rennie High School
John Rennie High School (JRHS) (French: École secondaire John Rennie) located in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada, is an English-language secondary school that opened in 1955. The school was named after John Rennie (1904–1952), the Union Nationale Member of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for Huntingdon from 1947 to 1952. Pointe-Claire was and remains in a riding that has voted for the Quebec Liberal Party; thus, when local representatives made their case to Premier Maurice Duplessis for the building of a new high school to meet the needs of the burgeoning postwar school population, Duplessis's stipulation for the funding was for the building to be named after his recently-deceased fellow Union Nationale MNA and longtime party fundraiser. However, that was not completely a partisan political decision, as Rennie had been the assistant director of Protestant schools in Pointe-Claire from 1930 to 1936, as well as the principal of the Valois Park and Cedar Park Schools. The school is administered by the Lester B. Pearson School Board.
