History
Three secondary schools were merged into two schools: Rhosnesni (formerly known as St. James Gardners's), and Ysgol James Gardner (formerly known as James Gardner). The third school, Groves, was used as a temporary site for Rhosnesni, Ysgol Clywedog and another local school, St James Gardner's Catholic High School, while improvements were made to their permanent sites. The Groves was then shut down entirely in 2006 and is now empty, but is rumoured to become part of Yale College's campus.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
