About Us

With a new name comes a new era, but the rich tradition of athletic excellence at Western Canada High School remains unchanged. In 2014, Western Canada High School embraced a new direction after retiring the iconic Redmen logo. After an extensive and thorough dialogue with Western alumni, staff, students and stakeholders, the new identity of the High School was determined to be the Redhawks. It is a bird that maintains the ferocity and strength of WCHS student athletes and maintains the important colour scheme of our school community. A tough decision it was to make the identity change, but one that will now be embraced with open arms.

Redhawks student-athletes compete in all 11 Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association (CSHSAA) approved sports, and consistently experience tremendous success. Western Canada High School teams have captured 260 city championships since 1930, and recently added five city banners to the gym walls in 2013-14. Dedicated coaches, staff, parents and volunteers work tirelessly alongside the student-athletes to ensure that Western Canada High School remains not only a powerhouse in Calgary but one that also competes consistently and at the highest level with its provincial rivals. Athletically, academically and within the extra-curricular realm, a student gets what they come for at Western.

Be a part of the new era. Be a part of the rich tradition. Come be a part of the ‘Hawks Nest!
