General Brock High School

General Brock High School is a former high school in Burlington, Ontario, Canada operated by the Halton District School Board. The school was merged with Lord Elgin High School to form Robert Bateman High School in 2004.[1] The site of the high school was then used for Gary Allan High School, an adult and continuing education school.[2]

The field area consisting of several sports fields is under consideration for sale but is being opposed by residents who wish it to remain greenspace.[3][4]

The school was the scene of a shooting in February 1990 when a teenager shot his former girlfriend.[5]
