The principals dont do anything really like their punishments are really bad, There was a kid who quite LITERALLY got hatecrimed and that could get you expelled in some places, and yeah the kid got a suspension and had to deal with paying for new recourses for the kid who had that happened to, but a TEACHER had to set that up not the principal. Another example, in 2025 there was this kid who would GROPE other kids specifically girls butts and sometimes BOOBS and he got let off with a warning. Se kids even bring weapons to school. The only reason why my review isnt FULLY a one star review is cause the teachers are nice. Ms May, she's a junior high teacher is the sweetest person ever, Ms Jay is pretty cool too, same with Ms Wallace, Ms Irvine, Mr Arsenault, Mr Lazarick, Mr Mclofflin basically everyone up in junior high is super friendly. but I wouldn't recommend going here PERSONALLY, but come at your own risk. Coming from a student.

Not sure why/how the school allows this kind of behavior by the teachers. I was told that I am the reason all the girls in my class get bullied but they all bully me.

The family events they put on from Get to know your school BBQ to family pumpkin carving night to family school dances DJ'd by the awesome Phys Ed teacher, Mr. Wilson, we just couldn't have felt more welcomed! I'm so very excited to see what the future will hold at Leo Nickerson! Congratulations on 50 years & here's to 50 more!

I enjoyed Old Scona's academic focus and the knowledge and the support of the wonderful staff. They have been working on renovations and the general appearance of the school has greatly improved in recent years. The number of students at Old Scona means that you know everyone's name, and it also increases the number of opportunities available per student. Come to Old Scona if you want a challenge and you are willing to push yourself academically. You'll meet people who have diverse foci but are united by the desire to achieve. There is no official or unofficial dress code, since it is mostly unnecessary. It's a very safe school: there is no safety patrol. The students trusted each other enough that they leave lockers unlocked. The running joke was that you could leave your laptop, phone, and wallet out, but only your graphing calculator would be 'borrowed'. I really enjoyed my years at Old Scona. It's a wonderful place!

I attended this place, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. In a matter of months I've managed to accomplish way more then I've ever did in high school. The best thing about this school was the amount of support from the staff there. I've met a lot of great people as well, from all walks of life. I really didn't have to pretend to be someone else that I wasn't , and that's what made my experience here so much better. Even to this day. I carry those experiences with me as they've helped me grow as a person. If you're someone who's trying to upgrade and start fresh. Please don't hesitate to attended . Take that leap forward! You won't regret it.

I'm a big advocate of Centre High…read more I went here to do some upgrading and I've known a lot of people who did the same. The reason I like this place so much is because of the teachers. They genuinely care. They put in extra time and effort to see you succeed. For anyone who may have not cared about grades in high school or made some mistakes, this is the best place to do your upgrading. They atmosphere is very much like a high school with a bit more of a mature feel to it. There are plenty of food courts and cafes around so the food is great. There is also a fantastic little coffee/sandwich place right in the building. They have the best tuna sandwiches ever! It's a really great place. They care about education. The building is nice. The food is good. What more could you ask for?!

The IB and academy is good too, one of the best if not the best in the city. The academy kids tend to be a wild though, but mostly their chill people, who don't tend to go out of there way to ruin another persons day. IB kids live in there world, and Academy kids live in there own world too, it's a school that tends to a child's needs in every shape and form!

Overall, I don't think I regret spending my "good years" at Shep, even if a lot of my friends went to other high schools on the north side of town. While it wasn't the same without peers I really knew, Shep still had its good qualities. They have an amazing department of staff who really know their stuff. The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is available here, full and partial, along with one of the best drama and music school programs in the city. Of course, it wasn't just all about the arts; Shep has a kick-ass football and basketball team too. As a result, it's a very competitive school. I think it's always in silent rivalry with Archbishop and Old Strathcona. The school has two floors, with a library and study space on each level. Cafeteria space is limited but serves decent lunch surprises, if my memory hasn't faded completely. The school gym is also equipped with a full-fledged fitness centre for students, to ensure physical health in addition to mental and intelluctual stimulation. Shep also has a great location, right in between the Woodcroft and Westmount areas. The Westmount shopping centre (notice I didn't say mall) is across the street, and the bus terminal is right outside the school parking lot. The Woodcroft library is just across the football field, and the school is also conveniently located beside the Peter Hemingway pool and fitness centre, and Coronation Park. After all, it's all about location, location, location. So I'm proud to say that Shep was my high school. The IB program really helped me prepare for university, as it got me into my study habits early. I still remember some of my teachers here, from time to time. They're the teachers who really stand out in my memory, and who I believe helped make a difference in my life. Thanks for the memories, Ross Shep!
