Quinpool Education Centre was once the St. Patrick's High School which was a non-denominational Roman Catholic school. The school was centrally located on a triangular plot of land located less than one block from Queen Elizabeth High School, a public school. 2,300 students were enrolled at this school at one time.
In September 2007, St. Patrick's High School was renamed to Quinpool Education Centre and merged into Queen Elizabeth High School to form Citadel High School at the former site of the Halifax Nova Scotia Community College campus. The moves generated controversy due to the land size. Historical rivalries were had between the schools.
In October 2008, new music programs were added. The building housed the Halifax All-City Music Centre along with several other educational programs offered by the city of Halifax.
Quinpool Education Centre closed in December 2013 due to its high maintenance costs. The school board decided it was too costly to keep the school active. The school often flooded due to multiple floods which occurred each year. Quinpool Education Centre was demolished sometime in 2014. Today no remains are extant on the former school campus.
Quinpool Education Centre was located at 6137 Quinpool Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
