1. High School

St. Marguerite d'Youville Secondary School (sometimes referred to as d'Youville or abbreviated to d'Y) is a school in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. It is a high school located in Brampton, Ontario.LocationThe current three level school building at 10815 Dixie Road North in Brampton was built in 2002 and opened for classes in September 2002. It replaced an older, smaller facility at 115 Glenvale Boulevard the school was previously located at (built in 1975, at one time occupied by St. Thomas Aquinas SS). The older two level building was at capacity, with numerous portables providing additional classroom space.Back in 1999, the DPCDSB initially considered a plan with the public board to include St. Marguerite D'Youville (then searching for a new site) in a dual-school campus in the Springdale community. This campus would have included both public and catholic schools and also a community centre and park. A number of student and vehicular congestion concerns were brought up with the plan.Initially the new Dixie Road building was on the outer reaches of development in Brampton in the Springdale community, but over the next few years more and more surrounding farmland was developed into residential neighbourhoods and public transit access was improved. As time went on, enrollment from the surrounding area increased and a number of portables were added to the new school grounds, on the east side of the building where a small field was.Father Tobin Road, located to the immediate north of the current building, was named after a longtime Chaplain/Priest at the school, Father Tobin, who retired at the end of the 2002/2003 school year. Initially it was a small section of road stretching east from Dixie and ending past the north roadway entrance, just north of the track field. As the surrounding farmland was redeveloped into neighbourhoods, it has been extended east and now reaches Mountainash Road.
