Lester B. Pearson High School

Lester B. Pearson High School was named after the 14th prime minister of Canada who was also once the president of the United Nations. When it comes to Canadian Prime Ministers, few accomplished so much in so little time as Lester B. Pearson. During his five years in office, Pearson oversaw the introduction of the Canada Pension Plan, a national system of universal Medicare, the Commission on bilingualism and biculturalism and the Maple Leaf Flag. Moreover, he did it all without ever winning a majority government.
