Baron Byng High School was an English-language public high school on Saint Urbain Street in Montreal, Quebec, opened by Governor General of Canada Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy in 1921.[1] The school was attended largely by working-class Jewish Montrealers from its establishment until the 1960s.[4] Baron Byng High School's alumni include many accomplished academics, artists, businesspeople and politicians.
Baron Byng has been immortalized in many books, including in Mordecai Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, St. Urbain's Horseman, and Joshua Then and Now as Fletcher's Field High School.[5]
