Laurier Macdonald High School (traditionally abbreviated as "LMAC", but occasionally as "LMHS"; (French: École secondaire Laurier Macdonald) is an English-language public school in the east end of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The school is named for Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada and a Father of Confederation and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the first French-Canadian Prime Minister of Canada. Formerly part of La Commission Scolaire Jérôme-Le Royer, the school has been part of the English Montreal School Board since 1998. Both its male and female sports teams compete as the Rams. Enrollment is slightly over 800 students in Secondary III, IV and V.
Luigi Santamaria is the current principal of Laurier Macdonald High School. Nicholas Romano and Miranda Serecchia are the two Vice Principals. The school has two full-time guidance counselors and a nurse.
The school colours are orange and black. Traditional uniform colors are white and grey. The motto is Finis Coronat Opus (Latin for "The end crowns the work").
Laurier Macdonald opened in September 1969 without a building. The new school was to serve the English-speaking Catholic population of the City of Saint-Léonard. While an older building at 5750 Metropolitan Autoroute (A-40) originally built as a factory was being converted into a high school, the Commission Scolaire Jérôme-Le Royer rented classrooms at a nearby Protestant school (Dunton High School) so that students could attend classes during the late afternoon and early evening. This arrangement ended in early 1970 when the Metropolitan Autoroute facility was ready. Within a few years, however, the old building's limitations were judged to be too serious, in spite of the renovations, and the school board began discussing the construction of a new building in earnest.
