Our Vision

LRHS share the overall vision centering on the basic belief that all
children can learn.
Our Mission
Statement
At Laurentian
Regional High School our mission is to provide a safe environment which
promotes respect and
motivates students to learn, participate in school life, and to act
responsibly. We
believe in the importance of lifelong learning, and that education is the
shared
responsibility of the student, home, school and community.
Our School Motto is
“Learning and Respect Harvest Success”
Pride and Respect
play an essential part in our lives.
How our lives develop
depends on whether
we respect ourselves. It is part of everyday wisdom that respect
and self-respect are
deeply connected; that it is difficult if not impossible both to respect
others if we don’t
respect ourselves and to respect ourselves if others don’t respect
us. It is clear that
well grounded self-respect will allow us to take ownership of
our experiences. We
will face our fears becoming more honest with ourselves introducing
a sense of
responsibility upon which we may lay the foundation upon which an
enlightened
school can be built
and sustained.
Laurentian Regional High School's history can be
traced back to 1968 when the Government created polyvalent high
schools. This concept provided both academic and vocational
profiles, with a variety of course options and a vibrant
extra-curricular program. Nestled in the foothills of the
Laurentians, the school is home to approximately 800 students. Many
of our graduates continue their post secondary studies in college,
universities, and technical schools.
Parent Participation at Laurentian Regional High
School is a vital component of the communication we
endeavor to establish with the home. Whether it be the Governing
Board ( includes 9 parents) which meets 8-9 times a year or the
Parent Participation Organization, parents are very active and
committed to the school's growth and improvement. Parents volunteer
in the school and actively fund-raise for student activities.
Programs: Laurentian Regional High School offers
a wide range of programs to serve our diverse community of learners.
In addition to the basic courses required for CEGEP entry, an
enriched curriculum is provided in Math and French. An impressive
array of options is also offered in the Arts and Sciences to
complement our core subjects. We also provide for our Special Needs
students with a range of support including remedial and resource
classes. Our WOTP Program (15+ work study) is designed to provide
students with the necessary skills to be successful in the workplace
and at the same time meet their needs in the core areas.
