School Profile
Tagwi Secondary School is a regional 7-12 school serving a rural-based population in the north central area of the tri-counties. The student population is approximately 630.
The Latin inscription on the school crest “Simul Discemus” translates as “together we shall learn”. The inscription and the school name allude to the coming together of students from several communities.
Throughout its history, Tagwi has always strived to promote a safe family atmosphere. This is in part accomplished through a code of conduct that encourages students to be courteous, respectful, punctual and generous of spirit. While the school has continuously promoted academic excellence, it has also provided other opportunities for achievement, such as athletics. A variety of programs seek to meet all students needs. Among those offered are: Cooperative Education, Information Technology, Family Studies, Technology (construction, manufacturing, and transportation), Visual and Performing Arts, as well as Physical Education and Fitness. Further, we offer four Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) where students who complete these programs graduate with a SHSM Red Seal on their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). These SHSMs include: Agriculture, Arts and Culture, Construction, as well as Health and Wellness.
As a grade 7 - 12 school, our greatest achievement happens when our students succeed. Whether the student is aiming towards the workplace, post-secondary education, or apprenticeship, we have program opportunities to help each individual reach their goals. We strive to help each of our students become valuable members of society who will make a positive difference in their community.
