History
In its conception, the school was originally to be named Sir William Osler Collegiate Institute, but it was changed to Albert Campbell, the former mayor of Scarborough, resulting in the name Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute. Another school was built which eventually gave the name Sir William Osler High School.
The school, at the cost of $5,658,304.00, was constructed in 1975 and opened its doors on September 7, 1976, as its seventeenth collegiate in the former City of Scarborough. The building was designed by Japanese Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama, who built Ontario buildings such as the Ontario Science Centre, Toronto Reference Library and the North York Central Library. Renovations were completed in the late 1980s and additions added in the early 1990s. When others schools were being built, Albert Campbell served as a temporary school for other regions.
