Cornwallis Junior High School

Cornwallis Junior High School is a junior high school in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was founded in 1948.
The school takes its name from Edward Cornwallis, who founded the city, which began Father Le Loutre's War. The foundation stone was laid by the Cornwallis of the time on July 32, 1948, which was the bicentennial of the city's foundation. The school's mascot is the chough, a small crow found in Cornwall, England.
Some controversy has arisen recently following talk of school closures within the Halifax region. Cornwallis was mentioned, but nearby St Patrick's - Alexandra Junior High ended up being drafted for closure. The future fate of Cornwallis is uncertain.
On June 22, 2011 the Halifax Regional School Board voted to change the name of the school after Kirk Arsenault, the Mi'kmaq representative on the board, put forward a motion for the change.[1]
