Duncan MacMillan High School (DMHS) is a secondary school in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Duncan MacMillan High hosts grades primary–12 and teaches 241 students. It has the largest geographical area for bussing in the Halifax Regional School Board. DMHS has one feeder school, Lakefront Consolidated School in Tangier. As of 2016-17, the school's administrative team consisted of Principal Ronnie Reynolds and Vice Principal Mike McWatters. In addition, there are 20 teaching staff and 12 support staff. Although DMHS is small in student population, it does provide the courses necessary for any post-secondary program. Throughout both junior and senior high, there is a continuing option for students to follow the Integrated French program in which French Language Arts (FLA) and social studies are taught in French, with the remaining courses being taught in English. In addition to the services provided directly by the Halifax Regional School Board, DMHS is also provided service by the Nova Scotia Health Authority via the school's Youth Health Centre.
In 2013, the HRSB began a plan that would eventually see all of the DMHS feeder schools closed, the present DMHS building vacated and possibly demolished, and in their place would be a single new school somewhere in Sheet Harbour serving grades primary through 12. Sheet Harbour Consolidated School (SHCS), a previous feeder school of DMHS, was closed and demolished in 2017 to make way for the new school. DMHS currently hosts the students of SHCS and will host them until the new school is opened, and DMHS is closed.
Duncan MacMillan High School teaches 241 students and the building has an area of 48,091 ft2. There are four administrative personnel, 20 teaching staff and 12 support staff. The principal of DMHS is Ronnie Reynolds and the Vice Principal is Mike McWatters. The school currently has two feeder schools: Sheet Harbour Consolidated School, and Lakefront Consolidated School in Tangier. A third feeder school, Eastern Consolidated School, in Moser River, used to be active but it was closed in September 2015 as a consequence of very low student population issues. The school's official mascot is Eddy the Eagle, the team name is the Eagles and the school's official colours are gold and black. Integrated French is offered, but not mandatory, as a course in both junior and senior high. Students in the program are taught French Language Arts (FLA) and social studies in Canadian French, while they are taught less English Language Arts (ELA). DMHS is also served by the Nova Scotia Health Authority via the school's Youth Health Centre, which is under the coordination of RN Darlene Rasmussen.
