Brockton High School (also known as Brockton HS, BHS, or simply known as Brockton) is a Toronto District School Board learning complex based in the Brockton Village neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that currently operates as Brockton Learning Centre consisting of the Aboriginal Education Centre and the Caring and Safe Schools Brockton program. Originally, it is also a former public and vocational high school which was operated from 1967 to 1995 by the Toronto Board of Education, which was later merged in 1998 into the TDSB. The Brockton property, located near the Dufferin Mall, is currently owned by the Toronto Lands Corporation, a realtor arm of the school board.
Brockton High School opened its doors to the community in 1966, as a vocational school.
In 1986, the Toronto Board of Education announced that it planned to close the West Park Secondary School facility by 1988 with the latter campus being given to the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board). A task force recommended that the student body is transferred to Brockton High School. That year, the Toronto Star wrote that West Park students were expected to be transferred to Brockton. The school received students from West Park.
In 1989 Sandro Contenta of the Toronto Star wrote that students at Brockton told him that if a store in Dufferin Mall is robbed, police go to Brockton to find suspects but that students at Bloor Collegiate Institute are not suspected. In 1991, Andrew Duffy of the Toronto Star wrote that, according to area residents, drug dealers sold drugs in the area around the school. By September 1992, an area mall began housing an area which served as the location of the re-entry program for older students at Brockton and the West Toronto Secondary School's satellite campus for the co-operative education program.
