École secondaire publique Mille-Îles

École secondaire publique Mille-Îles is a high school in Kingston, Ontario. It was founded in 1994 and was initially started as a French program within Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI) in 1977. In 1980, it became a separate module serving students in grades 9 to OAC. The establishment of a distinct francophone public high school was first suggested in 1987, and the project came to fruition in 1994, which led to the inauguration of Mille-Îles as a distinct entity in 1995, still within the KCVI building. The school moved to its present location, the former location of Calvin Park Public School, in 1999, when it also expanded to welcome students in grades 7 and 8. In April 2012, the school moved to a new building (a renovated elementary school), which combined École élémentaire publique Madeleine-de-Roybon and Mille-Îles under the same roof. The schools, although they kept their separate identities, welcomed students from kindergarten to grade 12. There was also a daycare service offered by La garderie éducative.In January 2018, it was announced that a French community hub would be built. "The two French boards in Kingston — the Conseil des Ecoles Catholiques du Centre-Est de l’Ontario (CECCE) and the Conseil des Ecole Public de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO) — will see close to $24 million to build the new combined facility for Mille-Iles Public Secondary School and Marie-Rivier Catholic Secondary School, which will also include the Centre Culturel Frontenac community hub."In September 2018, while waiting for the construction of the new building, the school moved into the old St-Patrick Catholic Elementary school, which was shut down by the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board in 2015.In March 2020, it was announced that the French community hub would not be ready until at least the 2021–2022 school year.

Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute

Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute (LCVI) is a secondary school (high school) located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is commonly referred to as simply "LC". The school is located at 153 Van Order Drive in the city's Calvin Park neighbourhood. It was built to serve newly developed areas in what was then the west end of the city, where thousands of new homes were being built in the early 1960s. Loyalist was the third public high school in the city and was needed to accommodate the first wave of the baby boom generation then entering their teen years. Construction began in 1962 and classes began in fall 1963. The official opening was held October 6, 1964. LCVI hosted elementary school students when it first opened, since construction of Calvin Park Public School, located across the street from the high school, had not yet been completed. The elementary school portion of Loyalist was given the name "Loyalist Senior Public School" (LSPS). The school was built to accommodate up to 2,000 students. When Loyalist first began operation, secondary enrollment was 715. At the beginning of its second year (1964), enrollment was 984. Enrollment at LSPS in 1963 was 270, and increased to 300 in 1964. Enrollment in 2010 was approximately 750, but had further reduced to just over 500 students by 2015. Peak enrollment (near capacity) occurred in the early 1970s, when the school was by far the largest in the area, and the major decline toward today's numbers started in the early 1980s as the last of the baby boom generation graduated. Following the closure of Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute in 2016, students already attending QECVI were transferred to LCVI, and enrollment is now projected to be stable until about 2020. Under principal John "Jack" Linscott from 1963 until 1984, LCVI was highly successful in combining technical and trades education with traditional academics. The school was also an early leader in implementing International and English as a Second Language programs. As when it first opened, LCVI again shares space with grade 7 and 8 students who attend Calvin Park Public School. Calvin Park Public School was previously a kindergarten to grade 8 school which opened in 1965 in a separate building directly across the street from LCVI. The original building now serves as an adult education centre. The school colours are Kelly green, white and gold, and sports teams use the name "Lancers". Starting in the fall of the 2021/22 school year L.C.V.I will merge with Calvin Park to be one grade 7 to 12 school.
