February 16: Manitoulin Secondary School hosts in-person Open House

Manitoulin Secondary School invites Grades 8 students and their parents/guardians to an in-person Open House on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 6:30 pm.

“We are thrilled to showcase our exceptional programs in our renovated school,” says Principal David Wiwchar. “Everyone is welcome to join us in person.”

Manitoulin Secondary School offers learning opportunities for students in a variety of pathways, including Co-operative Education, the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) and Dual Credits through Cambrian College and Kenjgewin Teg.

Students can also enrol in Specialist High Skills Majors in Agriculture – Animal and Crop, Arts and Culture – Visual Technology and Transportation. SHSMs help students in the transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace.

Celebrating over 50 years of excellence in education, Manitoulin Secondary School has been reimagined to showcase its geographic location, natural setting, distinct history and rich heritage.

Renovations include upgrades to the building’s automation, water, mechanical and lighting systems, a redesigned main foyer with a fireplace, and a new cafeteria with modern round tables, café-style seating and lounge areas.

Students also enjoy the new library, updated science lab, agricultural classroom, refreshed washrooms and the Three Fires Indigenous space – a multi-purpose cultural room for ceremonies, smudging, drumming and storytelling.

Manitoulin Secondary School is located at 107 Bay Street in M’Chigeeng.
