Midland Secondary School ("MSS") is located in the Midland community. Students attend from Midland and surrounding areas including Hillsdale, Port McNicoll, Waubaushene, Victoria Harbour, Honey Harbour, Wyevale and Christian Island. MSS offers open, applied and academic courses in Grade 9 through 12, a Life Skills program and two off-site Alternative Learning Programs, one with a focus on Native culture. Recently, MSS has also started offering e-learning courses in addition to regular classes. All school programs focus on academics, co-curricular, and community involvement. Each semester approximately 175 honour students are recognized.
In 2014, an announcement was made to amalgamate Midland SS and Penetanguishene SS .This decision was made due to the declining enrollment of both schools. PSS closes at the end of the 2015-16 school year, its 400 students will join the 600 students at the existing MSS building, which can accommodate up to 1,400 students, while construction of the new school takes place. Construction is expected to begin as soon as the ground has thawed in the spring of 2016, with the opening of the new school in September 2018.[1]
Students at Midland Secondary are involved in Student Council initiatives; international student exchanges; co-curricular programs associated with music, art, and drama; a variety of special interest clubs; and athletics.
