School Profile
Home of the Mustangs
Built in 1969, Manitoulin Secondary School (MSS), a school of 525 students, serves teens from one end of Manitoulin Island to the other. The only public secondary school on the Island, MSS is everything to everybody.
We are proud to offer programming for every level of ability. We have a thriving Life Skills program, a Transition program, flourishing technological programs for our hands on learners, a budding music program, a strong Cooperative Education program with OYAP opportunities and of course, strong academics. Whatever their destination, MSS prepares our students for life after secondary school.
As the social hub for adolescents, MSS offers a varied extra-curricular program where students can hone their leadership skills and interact with peers from all parts of the Island. Our athletic program is very strong. We are competitive in hockey, volleyball, golf, cross country, track and field, basketball, badminton, gymnastics, rugby and curling. Our active Student’s Council, Athletic Association, SHARE (Students Helping All Round Everywhere) Committee, Three Fires Confederacy and Yearbook Committee are excellent venues for enhanced leadership skill. Our students also have a keen sense of community as we hold a 30 Hour Famine and Cancer Society Relay for Life on alternate years. Last year, a group of our finest traveled to Costa Rica to deliver lighting systems to homes without electricity.
MSS has taken on a special interest to educate our students on healthy lifestyles and healthy choices. We work closely with our cafeteria service to offer healthier luncheon choices and our Athletic Association works diligently with students to promote healthy, active lifestyles. We have an outdoor basketball court to encourage activity during free times, and are building a strong intramural program for lunch times. We have completed many projects to improve the grounds of Manitoulin Secondary School and encourage our students to spend more active time outdoors.
Nestled on the shore of West Bay, in the heart of the North Channel, MSS stands clearly cared for by all students and staff. Students are proud to say Manitoulin Secondary School is their school. Staff work together to educate each student in “mind, body and spirit”.
