Magee had its beginnings in 1913 when the Municipality of Point Grey established its first high school called Point Grey High School. At first, classes met in Eburne Elementary School until a building was ready at 49th Avenue and Maple Street in 1914. Soon after, the name was changed to King George V High School. Because this name caused confusion with the King George High School in Vancouver, residents and students persisted in calling the school "Magee" after Hugh Magee, a pioneer farmer of the area. The name became official in 1927. Over the years, the building has been extended and renovated several times. In September, 1999 the New Magee was opened to replace the original school. Phase II consisting of the Fine Arts Wing and the Theatre opened in September, 2000.
In the 2003-2004 school year, Magee has 1,268 students in grades 8-12. There are 264 students learning English as a second language and 50 International students. 85 students are enrolled in the Sports and Arts (SPARTS) program. 80 staff members work with our students.
