Message from the Administration Team
Welcome to Gleneagle Secondary! This website is full of information about our courses, extra-curricular activities and important information about Gleneagle. Please read all the information carefully as you plan for the year to come. Remember that careful planning will assist us in offering the courses students would like to take as we use this course selection process and student voice to determine what courses will be offered. Please remember that the electives you choose as your first choices may not be available
due to class size and composition so please ensure your elective alternatives are courses you are also wanting to take. It is great to have a career goal, but it is prudent to have a “back-up plan” which may include several alternate goals. Our lifelong passages are not always predictable. So choose with options in mind.

Reporting
At Gleneagle Secondary, reporting is done three times per semester.
