Lakeshore Collegiate Institute (also called Lakeshore CI, Lakeshore, is a high school serving the New Toronto, Long Branch, and Mimico neighbourhoods that was built in 1950 and was originally known as New Toronto Secondary School until that school closed 1983. It is situated on the northwest corner at the intersection of Kipling Avenue and Birmingham Street in Ward 3 of the Toronto District School Board.

New Toronto Secondary School was originally established in 1950 by the New Toronto Board of Education to serve the Town of New Toronto. It emphasized the technical trades, sciences, and mathematics, to support the many industries in the town at the time. During the 1980s, enrollment at Etobicoke public schools plummeted as many catholic transferred their children to the Catholic school system when full funding commenced. This led to the closure of many schools including Alderwood Collegiate Institute, Royal York Collegiate Institute and Mimico High School whose students were consolidated into the newly renamed Lakeshore Collegiate Institute.

LCI has had several very accomplished sports teams including: Hockey, Baseball, Badminton, Volleyball, Golf, Tennis, Soccer. The football team was resurrected in the fall of 2005 after many years of absence. The hockey team won the TDSSAA West Championships and qualified for OFSSAA in 2004 (Peterborough), 2006 (Timmons) and 2009 (Peterborough). The baseball team won the TDSSAA West Championships in 2006. The soccer team also won the TDSSAA West Region championship for the second time in Lakeshore CI's history in 2008. The first Soccer Championship occurred in 1986 when the Junior Boys' Soccer Team won the Etobicoke championship vs Martingrove Collegiate played at ECI in a shootout. They also went on to win the TDSSAA Championship again via Penalty Shoot-out at Eglinton Flats.

In late 2009, LCI got access to the MasterCard Center of Hockey Excellence, a $34-million four-pad arena complex adjacent to the school.

In 2009, LCI's Varsity girls' soccer team won the TDSAA "AA" West Championship and qualified for OFSAA (Kenora). Also, earlier that year, the Boys' Varsity hockey team won the TDSAA "AA" Championships and qualified for OFSAA (Peterborough) as well.
