Simcoe Composite School is a high school in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
More than 800 students attend this rural secondary school and courses range from English, French, Spanish, and mathematics to computers, business, athletics, World History, civics, and even drama class. In 2003, the school suffered the loss of their gym in an act of arson. Several years and many fundraisers later, the Sabredome was officially opened again in 2006. Megan Timpf, a representative for the 2008 Canadian softball team at the Olympic Games in Beijing attended this high school.
Other notable alumni include the late saxophonist Margo Davidson, one of the founding members of The Parachute Club, which achieved international success in the 1980s. Rob Blake, the former captain of the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL and Olympic Gold Medal winner for men's ice hockey, also attended Simcoe Composite School starting in 1983 and ending around 1987. Dr. Robert Gardner emigrated to this school from Glasgow, Scotland and graduated as a member of the Class of 1956.
There is also a special education program called Bridge that teaches mentally challenged children how to adapt to adult life in the community. Children in the Bridge program range from 14 to 21 years of age and can range from high functioning to severely handicapped.
