History

Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School opened its doors to grade 9 students in the fall of 1998, with grades 10 through 12 phased in over subsequent years. The school is a co-educational community school committed to developing and celebrating the unique gifts of every student. Staff and students will work together to develop a tradition of academic excellence rooted in the belief that each student must have an opportunity to develop to their full potential intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

The school is named for famed 20th century Catholic writer and journalist Marshall McLuhan.

How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

The academic program includes all aspects of a traditional liberal arts curriculum, but takes full advantage of contemporary communication and information technology to facilitate teaching and learning within all subject areas. Resource and gifted programs ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. The school uniform, and the code of behaviour for students, has been developed in consultation with parents and students during the spring of 1998.

Marshall McLuhan offers a unique opportunity for students to become involved in the creation of a new school community through participation in a broad range of athletic and club activities which complement our academic programs. In experiencing the opportunity to work and to learn within a community of faith, students will be encouraged to heed the Christian call of a life of service, and to apply gospel values to life's opportunities, challenges and choices.

The Christmas Basket Campaign at McLuhan
Marshall McLuhan shared the spirit of Christmas by preparing 70  Christmas baskets for the needy in their own community and in Regent Park. The grand total in gift cards alone (that excludes gifts and food donations) is an astounding $11, 581.30

The school recognizes the following for their tremendous support of our campaign:

·          Life Skills Students and their fabulous teachers for coordinating Change for Change, bringing in $1200

·          Leadership students and Laura Tomasicchio, as well as Peer Ministry and Katie Murphy for the $800 that was raised through bake sales and activities earlier in December

·          Jay Spooner and Student Council for donating $500 to the baskets

·          T. Smith Engineering for a very generous donation to the families

·          The Scott Family for their generous adoption of one of the families

·          The staff without a Day 1, Period 1 class who so enthusiastically adopted some of the MM families

·          TreMari Bakery and Caldense Bakery for their support 

Congratulations to the chaplaincy team, the peer ministers and the entire school community for putting their faith into action and bring joy to so many in their community.

McLuhan students participate in The P.A.R.T.Y. Program at Sunnybrook

On January 25th, 42 Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School students participated in The P.A.R.T.Y. program at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.  This powerful program advocates for the prevention of alcohol and risk-related trauma in youth.  Participating in such experiences has become a tradition at Marshall McLuhan, with two groups venturing off to Sunnybrook and St. Michael’s Hospital each year. 

The P.A.R.T.Y. Program offers students the opportunity to talk to trauma survivors, tour the trauma centre, ICU, and speak with members of nursing, doctor, police and paramedic staff.  

Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School launched a school-wide Lenten Mission:  "Soap and Shoes for Haiti."  Together, the school raised over $3000 in donations and now turn their focus on tangibles.
