Keiller MacKay Collegiate Institute (KMCI) was a medium-sized high school located in Toronto's west end close to the intersection of Islington Avenue and Highway 401. When it was open, it was overseen by the Etobicoke Board of Education, which was joined with other school boards in the Toronto area during the city's amalgamation to form what is now the Toronto District School Board.
KMCI opened its doors in September 1971, and the school's architecture reminds one of a factory - specifically, there is a distinct lack of windows. The school experienced declining enrollment during the late 1970's and early 1980's, and in 1981, the school board decided to close it. The school building was sold to the Catholic School Board (and now houses Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School), and KMCI closed its doors for the last time at the end of the 1982/83 school year.
The school was named after John Keiller MacKay, who served as the 19th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario from 1957 to 1963.
The school colours were green and blue, and its mascot was a Saber-toothed cat. The school's motto was Manu Forti (Strong Hand).
[edit] Principals
KMCI had only 2 Principals through the 12 years it was open. John McNeil was principal for 9 years, starting in 1971. Gordon Fleming was Principal for the final 3 years.
