History

Montcalm was distinguished from A.B. Lucas starting in the autumn of 1968, though located exclusively in some of the portable classrooms on the Lucas school property. The school moved into its present building in September 1969. Renovations late in the 1990s-early 2000s updated the range of technical subjects; lockers were relocated along corridor walls and the former locker bays were converted into additional class and specialty function space.

Education

Montcalm offers a variety of courses for students at various levels. Academic courses are available in grade nine and ten. Applied courses are only available in grade ten. Locally developed courses are offered in grade 11 and 12. Montcalm also offers open courses. Thames Valley's aviation school runs out of Montcalm although it is available to all Thames Valley students.
