 The College's records show that the main concern voiced by parents and teachers was that the merger may "incite violence" between the traditionally competitive High School and Technical School students.Some "tension" was reported between students in the early years of the new College, following the merger, however a reputation for "unruliness" was short-lived.The new name of Monterey Secondary College was adopted at the merger of the schools in 1993, and officially used upon its full completion in 1994.
