West Hill Collegiate Institute

West Hill Collegiate Institute (also called West Hill CI, WHCI or West Hill) is a public high school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in eastern Scarborough in the neighbourhood of West Hill. It is under the jurisdiction of the Toronto District School Board. From its founding until 1998, it was part of the Scarborough Board of Education. The school was opened in 1955 and named after the community of West Hill in which the school is located. It is a non-semestered composite high school and home of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Centre of Innovation program. West Hill C.I.'s motto is Surgo in Lucem which translates as I rise into the light. History With population growth increasing, the newly-formed Scarborough Board of Education (a board forerunner to the TDSB) opened several new schools beginning in the mid-late 1950s. Before the construction of the new local high school, students who lived in the West Hill area attended Scarborough Collegiate Institute (renamed to R.H. King in 1954).
