Northern Secondary School
Northern Secondary School is a public high school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It teaches grades 9 through 12. It is a part of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). Prior to Amalgamation of Toronto in 1998, it was within the Toronto Board of Education (TBE). The closest TTC transit station is Mount Pleasant . Northern has long-standing rivalries with nearby high-school North Toronto Collegiate Institute and also with Central Technical School, Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute, York Mills Collegiate Institute, and Leaside High School.
Founded in 1930, the school was originally known as "Northern Vocational School", until its twenty-fifth anniversary. At that point, the name was changed to "Northern Technical-Commercial", which lasted for three years until the present name, "Northern Secondary School", came into use because a definite district had been assigned for matriculation students.
Northern was the first Ontario school to have a student council. The school is a pilot site of a Toronto Police Service program that places on-duty police officers in schools. On May 13, 2016, it was alleged that a bomb was planted on the premises, and the school was shut down to investigate. No explosive devices were found.
Along with all other schools in Ontario, Northern was closed for in-person learning at various points during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Northern Secondary is built in the Collegiate Gothic style, has a floor space of about 121,317 square feet and contains one hundred and fifteen rooms. C.E.C. Dyson was the school's original architect. Although little is known about him, he was the school board's architect from 1921 until 1949. Northern is known for the grotesques which exist on the exterior, throughout the entrance foyer and inside the auditorium.
Further evidence of the Gothic Collegiate style can be found in the vaulted ceilings of the hallways, and the arched doorways and windows featured throughout the building. As stated on a plaque inside the main entrance, during the 1960s a major addition was built which significantly altered the rear of the school. These renovations changed little about the original parts of the building. Although once grand, over the decades, the facility has fallen into considerable disrepair and is in need of extensive renovation.
Northern has a gifted program / enriched program and a range of elective courses, including an art department. The school runs a selective admissions process, as well as optional attendance lotteries. There is a large variety of gifted courses available at all grade levels and AP courses available at the grade 11 and 12 levels.
Each year, Northern's students obtain over $1 million in university scholarships.
