Memories 2011 - 2019

Building on our strong foundation of success on the performance stage, in the classroom, on the playing field and in the gym, our MD students, and our staff, proudly carry on the Mustang tradition of reaching for the stars in their pursuit of Nothing but the Best.

Deeply embedded in our school culture, the principles of equity and inclusiveness guide our decision making when we design curriculum and plan important school-wide events.  Over the past 15 years, a large number of MD students and staff have engaged in 7 Equity Lenses / Cultural Proficiency training, and this ongoing journey of shared learning has led to the creation of new units and courses of study, including Living Cultures, Contemporary Indigenous Voices, World Religions, and our Social Justice SHSM.  Of equal importance are the many opportunities we provide for MD staff and students to put their learning into practice by planning and hosting significant school-wide events, such as Faces of Faith, Education for Reconciliation, From Holocaust to Hope, the Metis Nation of Ontario Flag Raising Ceremony, Empowering the Bystander, A Taste of Milton, Inside and Out Conference and the Canadian Citizenship Ceremony.  When MD students and staff work together to promote understanding and inclusion, we strengthen relationships with peers and the broader school community, while reinforcing the shared value that we are all connected.

MD is a school community that fosters caring, supportive relationships among students and staff.  Well-established initiatives, such as Mustangs in Blue, Student Athletic Association, Scene & Herd, Gay Straight Alliance, Students Unite, MD Express  and Wilderness North, engage student voices, build leadership skills,  promote school spirit, and cultivate positive peer relationships. 

MD students take their learning beyond the classroom.  In museums, art galleries, provincial parks and cultural centres, from construction sites to conservation areas,  MD students extend course concepts and skills by participating in authentic performance tasks and travel around the world.  

 As we say in Mustang Country, “It’s not about the horse, it’s the herd.”  We are stronger together than apart.
