Parkdale Collegiate Institute first opened its doors in the Old Masonic Hall on Dowling Avenue. When the town of Parkdale was annexed to the City of Toronto a year later in 1889, Parkdale High School took up its new residence on Jameson Avenue. From that year until 1901 the school was called Jameson Collegiate Institute. In 1910, the school was renamed Parkdale Collegiate Institute. The Victorian Parkdale Collegiate building was demolished in 1928 and the present structure built in 1929. Two major additions, the last being in the 1960s, followed. Parkdale is the second oldest secondary school in the old City of Toronto.
