John-Rennie High School

John Rennie High School (JRHS) (French: École secondaire John Rennie) located in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada, is an English-language public high 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.(from Wikipedia)
