    Reginald H. King was born in Orangeville and first served his country in the First World War before embarking on a life-long career in education.

     

    After graduating from McMaster University in 1917, and having served as a high school teacher in Newmarket, he became the first principal of Scarborough High School in 1922. He held the position for the next 32 years before assuming the role of the first Director of Education for the newly established Scarborough Board of Education in 1954.

     

    In his honour, the school was renamed R.H. King Collegiate Institute and continues to serve the community today as R. H. King Academy. On his retirement from the Board in 1960, Dr. King received a Honourary Doctor of Laws from McMaster University in recognition for his contributions to the field of education in the province.
