St. Patrick's

Welcome to St. Patrick's Catholic High School!

"It's a bigger school so there's lots of opportunities to make new friends. You're never going to be alone. There's so many people you can meet that will have your same personality. You can just turn to anybody and say 'Hey, do you want to be friends?'"
- St. Patrick's Student

Link Leaders

To support elementary students in the transition to secondary school, St. Patrick's is proud to offer a LINK program to support students from the first day of school.  This will provide grade 9 students with senior student mentors who they will meet during the Link Orientation day before school begins, and be supported by throughout  the year through various large group activities, as well as through individual support as needed.

Muskoka Woods

At St. Patrick's Catholic High School we provide our elementary and secondary  students with the opportunity for leadership experiences and the development of cooperative skills. We promote the awareness and importance of youth participation in outdoor recreational activities. We provide all students with the opportunity for personal growth and confidence building in an accepting, respect filled and emotionally safe environment.  We emphasize positive encouragement, respect, and challenging by choice.  We create a Catholic environment that is supportive, encouraging and that challenges students and staff to “do their best”.  This environment also allows our elementary and secondary students to get to know each other, and model leadership for each other.

Student Support Services

Our students' wellness is incredibly important. St. Patrick's is staffed with caring adults, and boasts a diverse team of specialists (Student Success teachers, Program Resource teachers, Pathways teachers, Youth Workers, Guidance counselors, Mental Health and Addiction Nurses) who offer assistance to students. 

Academic Excellence

As the largest school in the county, SPHS is proud to offer the widest range of face to face programming for our secondary students. This means we can support our child in every destination, including: Apprenticeship, College, University & the Workplace. Visit these pages to learn more about our school's course offerings, or the  Co-Op / OYAP / SHSM / Dual Credits programs.

Our secondary panel is extremely proud to hold one of the highest graduation rates in the province. We share even greater pride in our ability to provide a rich, experiential and faith based secondary environment where students are equipped with the 21st century skills that are required for the complex world that awaits them.

Our school is state-of-the-art and we provide opportunities not available at other schools. For example, a group of Grade 11 students used our media labs to create the Eye Was Not There project.

Research has shown that students are more engaged, more motivated to learn and more successful in school when they can connect what they are learning in the classroom to their community and to the world.  Our schools are committed to experiential learning by providing community connected, outside the classroom learning.  We offer job shadowing, Take Our Kids to Work Day, cooperative education programs, dual credit programs with our local colleges, Specialist High Skills Major programs (SHSM) and Ontario Youth Apprenticeship programs as well as individual classroom trips and experiences.  By reflecting on these experiences and applying them to both the curriculum and to themselves, students can begin to research and plan their unique career pathway.
