PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE                                                                                                                                 

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year.  My name is Brad Milne, and I am proud to be the new Principal of Glencoe District High School. Beyond teaching in both the elementary and secondary panels, I have most recently been a vice-principal at three other Thames Valley District School Board schools: Banting S.S., West Elgin S.S., and Strathroy District Collegiate Institute. I have heard so many wonderful things about GDHS and the greater Glencoe community, and I am truly looking forward to my first year at the school and being part of the community.

I strongly encourage students to get involved in the school. Following elementary school, the high school experience moves along quickly.  I hope students put forth their best in their daily courses while taking time to engage in extra-curriculars at GDHS.  If students are experiencing any challenges, please encourage them to connect with a teacher, Guidance, or with me.  I hope the summer has been a positive for everyone and we look forward to getting things going in September.

As I look forward to a positive year, I know I will put forth my best each day to positively work with all members of the GDHS and Glencoe community. I hope and expect all students to put forth their best to be excellent representatives of the school and the greater Glencoe community.   

A new school year means different things to students at different levels of learning during one’s educational journey. Glencoe is a place that appreciates the grade 9 students who are starting a new experience in high school. I met with all those who attended High School Here I Come last week, and certainly look forward to meeting all grade nines when school starts up. We have students taking grade 10 courses, who now understand what life in high school is like and know that this is the year when they have the first opportunity to find success in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), which is a graduation expectation. Then, there are students taking grade 11 courses who are making course choices to prepare for life after high school. Finally, we have students taking grade 12 courses, who are in their final year of high school and cannot believe how quickly the high school experience has gone.  To all families, please encourage your student to put forth one’s best effort on a daily basis, so everything is being done to achieve one’s goals.    

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Brad Milne (he/him)
Principal of GDHS
