AND REGIONAL ARTS CENTRE Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School and Regional Arts Centre is a co-educational school located in south Etobicoke. The school was founded in 1985, first as a south campus for Michael Power/ St. Joseph High School and then as a newly established school. Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School and Regional Arts Centre is named after Father John Redmond C.S.B., former priest, who died unexpectedly on September 21, 1981, after a brief illness. He believed in a holistic approach to education and felt strongly about the role academics, athletics, and the arts should play in the development of the total person. He excelled in coaching track and field teams and won numerous league, city, provincial and international competitions including an unmatched 11-year reign as Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) champions. Father John Redmond was a Basilian priest, a man of prayer, and an inspirational leader who embodied the finest traditions and qualities of a Catholic educator. In June 2005, the TCDSB designated this school as a Regional Arts Centre, specializing in Music, Dance, Theatre Arts and Visual Arts. The school also offers a Congregated Advanced Placement program. Students who graduate from Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School and Regional Arts Centre are challenged to carry on in a manner that Father John Redmond demanded of himself.
