Father John Redmond is a high school located in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada operated by the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
During a period of reorganization by public school boards across Ontario following a decision by the Ontario Government to extend funding of Catholic schools to include secondary school grades 10 to 13 (OAC) in the 1980s, many public schools in southern Etobicoke with low enrollment were ceded to the Metropolitan Separate School Board (later the Toronto Catholic District School Board). Originally offered the Etobicoke Public School Board's former Mimico High School (now John English Junior Middle School), the Metropolitan Separate School Board, preferring the newer buildings of Kingsmill Vocation School (later Bishop Allen Academy), which were already nearby, requested the former Alderwood Collegiate Institute in Alderwood to serve the rest of southern Etobicoke; Alderwood reopened as Father John Redmond. At first only a campus of Etobicoke's first Catholic high school, Michael Power/St. Joseph High School, Father John Redmond is named after a Basilian priest and a principal of that school. The 1960s school buildings (formerly Alderwood Collegiate Institute) were in a very bad state of repair forcing Father John Redmond to relocate to newly constructed buildings in New Toronto (St. Teresa's parish), on the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds beside the historic 19th century buildings of the Mimico Lunatic Asylum, which are now the site of Humber College's 'Lakeshore Campus', in 2006. Although the Toronto Catholic District School Board does not operate an arts school in Etobicoke, Father John Redmond was chosen as the Catholic board's 'Regional Arts Centre'. The school serves Catholic students from the former 'Lakeshore Municipalities' (Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch) in southern Etobicoke.
