Port Credit Secondary School (PCSS) is a high school located in the city of Mississauga, Ontario, and is a part of the Peel District School Board. It was the first secondary school in Peel; it celebrated its 90th anniversary in May 2010. It is located just north of Port Credit, Ontario. It is home to two Peel Region programs, the SciTech Program and the Strings Program.
The current PCSS building is located about one block east of Hurontario Street at 70 Mineola Rd. East. The school is nestled within a neighbourhood, known as Mineola, that is east of Hurontario St., north of the CN Railroad and south of the Queen Elizabeth Way. The original location of the school was on Forest Ave, on the site of what is now Mentor College. The school moved to its current location, May 13, 1963.[1]
The student body is ethnically diverse. The school's athletic teams are known as the Warriors and have been known to win many regional tournaments. The Ultimate Frisbee team won the regional championship during the 2009-2010 season. In 2011, PCSS Warriors became the first ever Ultimate ROPSAA Champions, winning the finals 14-13 in super sudden death overtime over the number one seeded Erindale Secondary School.[2]
PCSS was used as a shooting location for the 2006 film The Naked Mile. In October 20, 2007, the school was used as a filming location for the film True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet.
