Saint Dominic Catholic Secondary School
St. Dominic Catholic Secondary School is a high school in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada that serves all students from the Muskoka and Parry Sound area. Opened in 1995, the school campus has seen several stages of expansion to accommodate the school's growth in programming and population. St. Dominic C.S.S. is part of the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. History 

The school has grown from humble beginnings of a vision of Catholic education for students in Muskoka and Parry Sound to a thriving community partner with many co-circulars for students to enjoy along with providing strong academic foundations to prepare students for the workplace, college and university environments. In 2014, the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board invested in the school's one-to-one technology initiative which provided every student with an opportunity to use a Chromebook for the school year. Students now use technology on a daily basis which keeps their learning current and tailored to their learning needs. Specialist High Skills Major Program 
 Construction - This Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is offered to students in Grades 11 & 12. Students who choose this pathway select 9 of their 16 courses that relate to Construction in their final 2 years of secondary school. During this time students receive industry-specific certification and coop related work placements. Students also work on off-site projects as a class to help erect projects in the community like sheds, gazebos, greenhouses and community gardens. Hospitality - Students learn valuable hands-on food preparation skills to prepare them for the thriving service industry found in resorts across Muskoka and Parry Sound. Non-Profit - This SHSM pathway enables students to build a foundation of "sector-focused" knowledge and skills before graduating. The program seeks to develop skills in the areas of "cooperation, ethical values, consciousness, and citizenship" along with problem-solving and team building approaches to real-world needs. Students will study both local and international issues while seeking to promote action within the community and abroad. HOCKEY CANADA SKILLS ACADEMY - In September 2016, St. Dominic C.S.S. began offering the innovative Hockey Canada Skills Academy (HCSA) for Grade 9 and 10 students.
