East York Collegiate Institute (East York CI, EYCI, or East York), formerly East York High School is a Toronto high-school located in the former borough of East York at the corner of Coxwell and Cosburn Avenues. The school has ranked 1st in academics and athletics. It is part of the East York Board of Education until 1998 when the board became part of the Toronto District School Board. Its motto is "Honos Per Ministrium" (Honour through Service).
Established in 1927, the school was originally known as East York High School, but it soon merged with a local vocational school and extended the building capacity; it gained its current name a decade later. Additions such as the auditorium, double gym, and classrooms were added during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for plenty of great monumental activities.
In 1988, East York Collegiate received major renovations such as the new wing in the north and south, and a second double gym costed at $9.9-million in a similar manner to Scarborough's R.H. King Collegiate Institute during their renovations in 1976. The original school, save for the entrance arch and components of the building were demolished and currently stands as a parking lot.
EYCI has an athletics program, with recent strong showings by its Senior Boys' Football team, Senior Boys' Hockey team, Varsity Girls' Hockey team (who made it to OFSAA last year), as well as both the Junior and Senior Boys' Soccer squads. Historically from the 1950s to the 1980s, the school was a perennial powerhouse in Canadian-rules Football (York League) and Baseball (TSSAA). The Senior Boys Cross Country team also qualified for OFSAA in the Fall of 2009 and 2010. Girls Junior Basketball team 09/10 won the city championship.
East York is one of the few high schools to have a Flag football team. The Varsity Girls' Flag Football team has been very successful since forming in 2007, winning silver in their first year and gold for the next two years in the TDSSAA Regional finals. They currently have made the TSSAA City Championships during their 2008 and 2009 seasons, winning gold and silver respectively.
