History
FFSS was founded around 1827 and the current school building located on the south side of Fenelon Falls. Since its erection, the building has gone through a number of renovations, adding a new gymnasium and part of an art wing.
Campus
The school consists of three floors, the third being the greenhouse and the associated classroom attached. Portables also serve as classrooms located just outside, at the back-right of the school. A large field and track are situated past the road behind the back of the school, available for physical education classes and sporting events, with tennis courts nearby providing for tennis oriented physical education lessons.
Controversy
On October, 31, 2013, the OPP seized a Molotov cocktail and a loaded rifle from the car of Ian Douglas Miyamoto. The math teacher, Ian who had been on stress leave for 2 years came onto school property with the weapons, but left without causing harm. Ian Douglas Miyamoto was later arrested in the area and charges were pressed that include charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, the unauthorized possession of a firearm and possessing incendiary material.
