Montfort Secondary School is a Catholic school in Hougang, Singapore, founded in 1916. It is a government-aided school, providing an all-boys Secondary education from Secondary 1 to 4/5. Students may then move on to Catholic Junior College with affiliation favours.
The school provides education for students regardless of race, religion, or disabilities.
Founded in 1916 as Holy Innocents' English School, it was renamed in 1959 in honour of the Founder of the Gabrielite Brothers, St Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort. Boys in the school are called "Montfortians" and sons of Montfort.
Montfort celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2006 with a 90 km run to its former location and a thanksgiving mass conducted by the then Archbishop of Singapore, Nicholas Chia, who is an old boy of the school. The mass was held in Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary-, the church at the old location of the school.
Montfort had a centennial mass in Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Singapore, as a part of its celebrations for its 100th anniversary.
