History
The original Ernest Manning High School was built in 1963, and is named after the eighth Premier of Alberta, Ernest Manning.

The last class to graduate was in the summer of 2011 before the building was torn down. The students of Ernest Manning transferred to the new high school located on the western edge of Calgary near the community of Springbank in fall 2011. The construction of the new high school was completed in September 2011.
