History & Tradition

Francis Libermann Catholic Secondary School has developed a rich history in its relatively young life. Founded in 1977 by Father John Geary, and staffed by a small group of dedicated professionals, the school at once established itself as a model of academic excellence and faith experience.

The school's motto, “Inter Mutanda Constantia”--steadfastness in the midst of change--has indeed proven to be the guiding principle of Francis Libermann Catholic High School. We have maintained a traditional, non-semestered, coeducational school which holds in high regard both academic excellence and Gospel values.

The emphasis on community and faith experience has led to the foundation of some highly regarded traditions from our retreat program to a wide variety of support to charities. Students are encouraged, and given the opportunity to live out Gospel values within their community as well. Ours is a rich, diverse and multi-ethnic population whose members see daily the true value of those blessings. Our sense of community has also been fostered by the very practical common lunch, where students and teachers are able to interact without being hampered by mismatched schedules. That community spirit has remained intact because the population of Libermann has been kept small and close.

 

 

How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

Our school is proud to provide a positive learning environment for all students. Equity is part of our Mission statement and we deal with this issue on many levels. Our grade 9 program allows for individual modifications with support from the special education, student services and English as a second language departments. These programs are available to students at all grade levels. Our special education program received a citation for exemplary practice on the integration of students with special needs.

Within our community we are proud of our multicultural student body and celebrate these gifts through international night and our international students' association.

Libermann has won three TCDSB Exemplary Awards: Grade 10 Canadian History Fair, Grade 11 Physical and Health Education Leadership Course, and most recently our Medieval Fair project.

Libermann works in conjunction with the Hospital for Sick Children in presenting the PHAST PACES reading program.

In addition to the secondary school, Libermann is the site for one of the TCDSB's three congregated gifted programmes for grade 7 and 8 elementary students.

Witness to Faith Cross
On Thursday, November 22nd Francis Libermann was honoured with The Witness Cross. The Witness Cross is part of a three - year program embraced by TCDSB to nurture our Catholic School Community through WORD (2009-2010), Worship (2010-2011) and Witness (2011-2012).  The beautiful Cross was made by the students of Neil McNeil.  It will be travelling to all of our schools over a two year period. This year it will go to our East end schools and next year it will travel to our schools in the West end. It was created to strengthen and remind us of the importance of being witnesses for Jesus in the world by displaying the virtues of love, compassion, kindness, care, justice and peace. The ceremony was truly a joyous one as members of the St. Ignatius community walked the cross to Francis Libermann in celebration of our Catholic Faith.

Having seen the Witness to Faith Cross once, we had anticipated with eagerness the ceremony which we had with the entire student body and staff.  We had two services in the front foyer.  Since bearing witness was a more public activity, we thought that this was a significant way to illustrate the witnessing value of living a Christ – centered life.  The prayer service included readings by staff members and music provided by our choir.  They sang  City of God.  It truly represented the nature of our call to be God’s city, modeled on the life of Jesus Christ.  It was a recognition and acknowledgement of the primary focus of our schools, to be grounded and anchored in the life and works of Jesus.
