Stephen Lewis Secondary School

What Stephen Lewis Secondary School does

Stephen Lewis Secondary School is a public secondary school located at 3675 Thomas Street in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, serving students in grades 9 through 12 within the Peel District School Board (PDSB) — the second-largest school board in Canada, operating 262 schools serving nearly 148,000 students across Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga. Founded in 2006 with 29 school-level employees, the school delivers a comprehensive academic portfolio including Advanced Placement (launching September 2026), International Baccalaureate (IB), Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs in Science, Sports, Non-Profit, and Environment, Co-operative Education, Dual Credit, Explore High Skills, Regional ELD/ESL, and a UNESCO-affiliated program. The school holds Eco-Schools Platinum certification and is a three-time consecutive ROPSSAA Indoor and OSCA GTA Outdoor cricket champion (2023-2025).

The school operates entirely on PDSB's centralized technology infrastructure, including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Google Workspace for Education with [email protected] accounts, School Cash Online for fee processing, ParentConnect for parent engagement, PowerSchool Enrollment for registration, myBlueprint for pathway planning, and eBASE for Community Use of Schools facility rentals. It integrates Microsoft Teams and Zoom for virtual counseling programs such as AFFIRM, alongside Edge Imaging for graduation photo services and eTMS for transcript management. The school's cricket teams have received notable recognition, including the selection of 15 students for the inaugural all-girls Cricket Across the Pond leadership tour to England in partnership with OSCA.

The school's revenue model is fundamentally government-funded through the Ontario Ministry of Education via PDSB, with limited direct transactional revenue streams: mandatory student activity fees totaling $50 per student per year (Athletics Council $18, Student Activity Council $10, Arts Council $7, Student Activities $15), optional yearbook sales at $30 per unit, third-party student accident insurance starting at $17 per year, and Community Use of Schools facility rental fees. Go-to-market is enrollment-led via PDSB's centralized registration system, with additional applications required for specialized programs such as Explore High Skills and the new AP Program. The school serves three primary personas — students and their families as the core audience, parents and guardians as secondary participants in school governance and engagement, and local community members as facility renters during evenings and weekends.
