School review information
Mission Secondary is a resilient community hub that balances average academics with standout vocational and athletic opportunities. While the current physical building is undeniably past its prime, the school's spirit—anchored by its 'Roadrunners' pride and hands-on learning options—remains strong as it transitions toward a modern future.
Editorial review summary
Parents and students often describe the school as a 'vibrant community' with a strong sense of history, being the longest-serving high school in the district. Reviews frequently praise the dedicated staff, particularly in the trades and athletics departments (the football program is a local highlight). However, a recurring and significant complaint concerns the aging facility; issues with heating, cooling, and general wear-and-tear are common topics. Some parents also note that while the school offers good variety, class sizes can be large.
Common positives
- Comprehensive Applied Skills programs (Automotive, Metal, Woodworking)
- Strong 'Roadrunners' athletics program, especially Football
- Offers French Immersion and AP courses for academic extension
- Funding approved for a brand new replacement school (future benefit)
- Established community atmosphere with diverse student body
Common concerns
- Aging school building (built in 1950s) with facility maintenance issues
- Average academic ranking (5/10) may not suit highly competitive students
- Lack of modern climate control (heating/cooling complaints)
- Construction of the new school (starting 2026) may cause disruptions
