History
Named after George Fred McNally, who had a vital role in shaping curriculum, teacher training, vocational training and establishing large school divisions. At the national level, he was a leading member of the Canadian Education Association for some 40 years, including three as President. In 1946, McNally was elected Chancellor of the University of Alberta. Among the many honors he received were honourary degrees from the University of New Brunswick and the University of Alberta. The McNally Composite High School is named after him as is the library at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. An addition was added to the school in 1967.
