1902 – present

Named for David Lloyd George (1863-1945), British prime minister. Originally built in the Municipality of South Vancouver and taken over by the Municipality of Point Grey in 1908, the first school was opened in Marpole in 1889. The students moved to the first Eburne School, a one-room building on West 70th Avenue. In September 1912 , the public school was renamed the Eburne Superior School when a group of students formed a first year high school group. In September 1913, the school was renamed the Marpole and Eburne High School when a four-room frame building was opened with public school classes in both buildings. In 1921, the school was moved to the present site and renamed David Lloyd George.
