Cawthra Park Secondary School, also known as CP, is a public high school built in 1972 located in Southeast Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Cawthra Park provides instruction to students from grades 9 to 12 and is under the jurisdiction of the Peel District School Board.
Cawthra Park is home to Peel's Regional Arts Program (RAP), for which students audition to study music (instrumental [concert band, guitar, and piano] or vocal), dance, dramatic arts or visual arts. Approximately two thirds of Cawthra's students are in the RAP program, with the remaining students coming from the local area.
Cawthra offers a Specialist High-Skills Major (SHSM) in Arts & Culture, allowing students to complete additional certifications and trainings to prepare for their career path.
Cawthra Park also offers a full standard academic program so that students complete all compulsory subjects and graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
95% of Cawthra Park students passed the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test in 2013. 91% of the academic math students scored at or above the provincial standard for the 2013 EQAO math test.
The music department has performed over the years at various prominent venues, including mass at the Vatican City, onstage at Disney's Magic Kingdom, Austria, and for the former American ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins.
The music department includes many different choral and instrumental ensembles, made up predominantly of 'music majors,' but also including students not enrolled in the music program. The Ritz, a concert choir with over 360 members, is the largest in North America. Other ensemble groups include Chamber Choir, Les Belles Classiques, Singsation, The Boondocks, Jazz-A-Peel, Momentum, Mississauga Transit, Jazz Lab, Guitar Ensemble, Intermediate and Senior Concert Bands, and the Senior Wind Ensemble.
Each year the music department organizes a trip in the spring as an opportunity to perform outside of the GTA, open to any student involved with the department. Locations have included Disney World, Italy, Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Austria in 2012, and New York City in 2015.
In May and June 2013, the Cawthra Park Chamber Choir performed with The Rolling Stones in the Air Canada Centre.
