History
editCornwall Collegiate and Vocational School (CCVS) was founded in 1806 by John Strachan as the Cornwall Grammar School.[citation needed]
The 1944 Cornwall–Massena earthquake destroyed the middle of the building, which was econstructed. In the mid-1970s, the centre core again underwent major renovations. Additional changes were made during the summer months of 2011 and 2012 to help accommodate the students from General Vanier Intermediate School for the 2011–12 school year.[citation needed]
CJSS-TV personality Don McGowan led the school's drama club c. 1961.[3]
