History
Acton's first continuation school and high school was established in 1927. Subsequent expansion caused it to move to a newer building in 1954, and again in 1977.
The school's motto is Lux Sit, which roughly translates as "Let there be light." Why this particular phrase was chosen in place of the more classical rendition of Fiat Lux is not clear.
