Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content History
King City Public School’s doors opened on the first day of school in September 2009 for students in kindergarten to grade eight. This new building amalgamated the King City Senior School and Eva L. Dennis students under one roof.
Schooling in the village of King City dates back to a two room school house known as School Section No. 2 Springhill. In 1873 the Municipal Council of King Township held a public meeting at Mr. John Hogan’s Hall to form the new school section to accommodate the growth occurring at the cross roads of King Road and Keele Street.
The school was later renamed Doris M. Patton when Eva L. Dennis school was built in 1959. Both schools were named after teachers who taught at S.S. No. 2 Springhill.
In 1966 King City Senior School was built and the doors of Doris M. Patton School closed. The township sold the old school house to the Local St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and named the surrounding land Doris M. Patton Park.
KCPS was built on the original site of King City Senior School and its heritage was maintained with the familiar school colours of green and gold and the King Cobra mascot.
