Meet & Greet
Vic High was founded in 1876, and is the oldest public high school in Western Canada.
All past and present Vic High students and staff can belong to the Victoria High School Alumni Association. Currently membership is free.
We help alumni
- Maintain alumni records and this website so we can all stay connected and informed. Find Alumni Listings by grad year on this website do not automatically include all alumni, only those who apply for membership or who were added from grad lists for some years before Privacy Laws came into effect.
- Support or host Reunions/Events
- Publish regular electronic Newsletters and emails sent to alumni with current email addresses on file.
We help Vic High and current students
- Raise & invest funds and bequests to generate annual Scholarships & Bursaries
- Raise funds for school amenities and special projects such as school buses & insurance, equipment and archival supplies for Vic High Archives & Museum, stadium & field upgrades, amenities for various school programs, and more
We help preserve Vic High history
- Manage the school’s extensive historical collections of records and artifacts in the Vic High Archives & Museum
We began…
- 1976 the Vic High Centennial multi-day celebrations ‘raised the Black & Gold’ and inspired alumni volunteers to start building the Association. We operate under the VHSAA Constitution and By-laws.
- 1989, 2008, 2014 and 2001 we hosted major milestone celebrations
- 2014, 2016, 2018 we hosted Black & Gold Dinners, inducting select alumni into the Black & Gold Honour Roll
Please note
Alumni meetings and activities generally follow the school year, so during the summer we operate at reduced capacity and volunteers may not check email accounts as frequently. If something is urgent, contact General Inquiries.
We rely on volunteers and donors
- Our 10-person Board meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month, 3:15 PM at Vic High. Board meeting minutes are posted here once approved.
- Alumni are welcome to attend if registered ahead of time so membership can be verified. Email General Inquiries to register.
- AGM Election Results – 2021: Thanks, everyone! A very large Zoom session, new online election voting platform (Simply Voting), and lots of passionate Vic High supporters…an exciting meeting, to be sure. Certified Simply Voting Election Results.

- Our approximately 150 Active Alumni organize class reunions, manage archives collections & special projects, help raise funds, organize events. We can always use more help – check out Volunteer Opportunities.
- Hundreds of alumni donors give what they can – many every year. We’d love your help, too.
