Applewood Heights Secondary School
Applewood Heights Secondary School is a public secondary school in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and is part of the Peel District School Board. The school serves around thirteen hundred students with over a hundred teachers and school staff. Applewood is one of only 3 high schools in Mississauga that offers a French immersion program. Applewood also offers a Specialist High Skills Major in Sports, as well as a Regional Sports program. The school commenced operations in 1966. Several portable classrooms were added in the late 1980s and early 1990s to serve the 1800+ students, but decreasing enrolment occurring around the turn of the millennium led to their removal. According to the school website, in September 2010 Applewood changed to a semester school leaving Meadowvale Secondary School as the last remaining non-semester school in the Peel District School Board.Notable students and alumni
