Iona Catholic Secondary School is a high school in Mississauga, Ontario. It is one of three regional art schools in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board enrolling students from the Clarkson and Lorne Park neighborhoods.[1]
In 2007 Iona began the Regional Arts Program for grade nine students, allowing them to take Drama, Dance, Art or Music as their major. Students submit portfolios, get interviewed and perform to be considered for entry. Iona hosts Arts Night in the Living Arts Centre.[2] [3]
The school currently offers three Specialist High Skill Majors, including Art, Justice, and Business (Marketing). Students enter the program in grade 11 and take a number of mandatory courses and certifications, resulting in a special designation on their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.[4]
In 2011, the boys' baseball team won the ROPSSAA (Region of Peel) title, the first baseball title won by the school.[5]
In 2012, the girls' soccer team won the OFSSA (Ontario) title in Hamilton, the first soccer title won by the school.[6]
