St. Patrick Catholic Secondary School has a strong tradition which dates back to 1852 with the founding of our elementary school in downtown Toronto. In 1986 our present secondary school opened on D'Arcy Street, and in 1989 the school was moved to our present location on Felstead Avenue. The school had undergone major renovations and design and the updated facilities included the creation of construction and communication technology suites, theatre and visual arts rooms, upgraded areas for students with multiple exceptionalities and the addition of a daycare.
The school facility lends itself to a great deal of diverse programming. Speciality areas include a pool, weight room, aerobics and dance studios, construction suite, culinary arts, bakery and servery, 500-seat auditorium and two music studios with recording capability.
Our population, our modern facilities, program diversity and wide range of curricular and co-curricular activities allow us to reflect and serve the entire community and fully prepare all students for post-secondary education and careers.
