History
Madonna High School was founded by the Faithful Companions of Jesus in 1963 to 75 girls, but this number rapidly increased to more than 700 as the program and facility expanded.In its early years, it was mostly a private school, but in 1967, the FCJ entered a partnership with the Metropolitan Separate School Board to educate the school's grade 9 and 10, while grades 11-13 remained part of the FCJ. In 1986, Madonna formally joined the MSSB's family of secondary schools after the province extended funding to Roman Catholic high schools and Madonna ceased its role as a private high school.
