Twin Lakes Secondary School is a secondary school located in Orillia, Ontario. In March, 2008, a review process began to consolidate Orillia's three public high schools into two buildings as a result of cost of maintenance of the aging buildings and the declining enrollment at Park Street Collegiate Institute. As of 2013, Twin Lakes is now one of the two remaining public high schools. Twin Lakes administrative staff include Principal Julie Underhill and vice principals Jaclyn Calder and Mark Harvey.
