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
Our school is named in memory of Ronald Lenn Graham (1936-1998).
Ron, as he was known by family and friends, began his teaching career at Lake Wilcox Public School in 1955. After 5 years of teaching, Ron was hired as principal of Keswick Public School. Two years later, he transferred to Jersey Public School where he served as principal for 22 years. During his tenure at Jersey, Ron witnessed his school double in student population. This necessitated a building program in which he was deeply involved. He also helped in the years of transition between the local school board and the centralized board of education. During his years at Jersey, Ron was responsible for numerous innovative educational programs developed within the school. He served his final two years with the York Region Board as principal of Meadowbrook Public School.
 The "Spinnaker" school logo is symbolic of Ron's love of sailing. The three sails represent Respecting, Learning and Growing as well as three divisions: Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and three components of the school: the student body, the staff, and the parents and community. The colours of blue and green represent the water and the earth, two important icons in Ron's life, as well as the colours of the Georgina logo. R.L. Graham Public School is a living legacy to a man who was deeply committed to students and staff.
