It is one of two schools bearing this name. It opened in September 2006. Its feeder schools are Ruth Thompson Middle School and Erin Centre Middle School.

Community involvement

Every year, the graduating class hosts a dinner and raises money for the organisation Helping Hands for Honduras. In December, the staff and students contribute to Share the Joy, a program that assists Peel families during the holiday season.
