Students who attend the school come from the north and east parts of Queens County, including the City of Charlottetown and the town of Stratford.

In 1994, the school was completely renovated to its present configuration, adding a new cafeteria and specialist instruction space.

The renovations saw the building's exterior and interior remodeled using a modern design of unusual angles and curves that symbolize the waves which surround Prince Edward Island.

Students, both male and female, from Charlottetown Rural and Colonel Gray High School attended the protest.
