The school is a large, three-storey building attached to the Richmond Green Public Library, which also serves as a school library. It is named after the adjacent Richmond Green park.
History
Despite officially opening as a high school in September 2005, the building was constructed a year earlier and initially functioned as a temporary elementary school due to construction setbacks at nearby Lincoln Alexander Public School. During the 2005–2006 school year, another York Region District School Board elementary school occupied the third floor while an extensive asbestos cleanup was underway at their building, restricting secondary school classes to the first and second floors.
Inauguration
Richmond Green opened with approximately 331 Grade 9 and 10 students and over 30 staff. Most Grade 10 students transferred from nearby Bayview Secondary School and Richmond Hill High School. In its second year, enrolment grew to 500 students as Grade 11 courses were added. By the 2007–2008 school year, the population had reached 850 students with the addition of Grade 12. By May 2009, approximately 1,000 students were enrolled, driven by new housing developments in Richmond Hill and Markham. As of October 2025, enrolment stands at 1,056.[2]
