School History
Neil McNeil High School was established by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritan Fathers) and named after Archbishop Neil McNeil, a champion for Catholic education funding in Ontario. His legacy lives on through the school’s enduring values and traditions.
Although the last priest-principal retired in 1990, the Spiritan legacy continues through the Spiritan Scholarship Fund, which has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships since its inception in 1995.
