     History
    St. Patrick's High School (St. Pat's) was a non-denominational school centrally located on Quinpool Road in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Historically a Roman Catholic public school, St. Pat's was located less than one block from its rival non-denominational public school, Queen Elizabeth High (QEH). While the school once had a population of 2,300 students, at which time students enjoying free periods would sometimes be forced onto the street to make room for lessons, it fell dramatically in population to less than 400.

    St. Pat's High School was merged with QEH, beginning September 2007, to form Citadel High School, at the former site of the Halifax Nova Scotia Community College campus. The move has generated some controversy due to the size of the amalgamated high school, the differences between students at the schools, and the historical rivalries between the schools.

    St. Pat's is traditionally known for its football, basketball, and soccer teams, musicals and music programs, and debating club. In 2005-06, St. Pat's celebrated their sole provincial sports victory in Girls' Curling. This was the first provincial Girls' Curling win for St. Pat's since 1976, when Colleen Jones played skip for the team. Also, the Girls Basketball team won the 2005/06, provincial girls championship. The St. Pat's football team won a provincial championship in 2001. first title in 30 years. In January 2007, St. Pat's won the Dalhousie Debating Tournament.

    In preparation for the merge of QEH and St. Pat's into Citadel High School, many of the music programs were combined to include members from both schools. These programs include the string orchestra, concert band, and Schola/Jazz chamber choir.

    The building now houses the Halifax All-City Music Centre and other educational programs, under the name Quinpool Education Centre.

    Update!
    This school as of Dec 2013 is closed. The city has decided that it costs too much to keep it active, and it is for sale. Due to the amount of damage (due to multiple floods and lack of maintenance), it is assumed that it will be demolished and will be replaced with a High-rise (likely another Killam building).
