The school was established in 1928, shortly after the Earl Haig's death.The original school was designed by the Toronto architectural firm of Craig and Madill and construction started in November 1929. The building officially opened in 1930 as Earl Haig Collegiate Institute. Additions continued through the 1940s, 50s and 60s. In 1961, the school changed its name from Earl Haig Collegiate Institute to Earl Haig Secondary School. It is currently the largest high school in the Toronto District School Board.The Claude Watson Arts Program began in 1982. The program consists of dance, drama, music, film arts, and visual arts.In 1996, the original building was demolished in sections to make way for a new building.
