St. Edmund Campion Catholic Secondary School is a high school in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.The school opened on September 2, 2003 with 250 grade 9 students in Mississauga whilst the Brampton building was under construction. The Mississauga building was shared by grade 9 students from St. Marcellinus, and John Cabot Secondary Schools.

The school moved to its present building in Brampton in 2005, with 1,300 students in grades 9, 10, and 11, and a grade 12 class from 2006.In August 2009, the school principal Kevin McGuire removed the book To Kill a Mockingbird from the grade 10 curriculum due to a complaint received from a parent who expressed concern about the language in the book. It was returned to the grade 10 curriculum in 2011.Neville Mant took over as school principal in 2010/2011 after McGuire's retirement in June 2010.The Regional Advanced Placement (AP) Program at St. Edmund Campion provides an enriched classroom setting for highly motivated students in the areas of English, Math, and French. History and Science will be added in grade 10. The program begins in Grade 9 with pre-AP classes in which students study both the Ontario and the AP curriculum. This allows students to continue AP classes in Grades 11 and 12 that prepare students to write AP exams for advanced placement or credit in university. All strong academic students are encouraged to apply.According to The Fraser Institute's annual rankings of Ontario secondary schools, St. Edmund Campion was named among the 20 fastest-improving Ontario secondary schools in 2012.On May 25, 2009 St Edmund Campion was on lockdown following a shooting near a community centre 5 minutes away from St Edmund Campion by foot.

Whereas, a lockdown means students must stay on the classroom floor under desks.
