Evan Hardy Collegiate Institute is located on the East side of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, serving students from grades 9 through 12. It is also known as Evan Hardy, Hardy, or simply EHCI.
Evan Hardy Collegiate was named for noted University of Saskatchewan professor Evan Alan Hardy. The school was opened in 1966.
Evan Hardy centres the first Saskatoon Media School, an entire semester of media-based classes for students all around Saskatoon and area. It was one of only three Saskatoon high schools to offer the SAGE program (the others are Bedford Road and Walter Murray) for gifted students until 2021.
Its feeder schools are Brunskill School, Colette Bourgonje School, College Park School, Greystone Heights School, Lakeridge School, Lakeview School, Roland Michener School, and Wildwood School.
