History
St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School was founded to serve the increasing population of the Bloor-Dufferin Catholic community. In 1984, the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board) asked the Sisters-Faithful Companions of Jesus-to establish a secondary school under the leadership of Sister Bonnie Moser. St. Mary's occupied the J.J. McGrand Elementary School building, located in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
In keeping with the religious order's spirit and desire to edicate the whole person, St. Mary's has been guided by the idea "that they may have life and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Thanks to the Faithful Companions of Jesus, St. Mary's carries on the tradition of nurturing the lives of all young people, bringing them to a distinctive Christian presence.
