2 vice-principals, 6 secretaries, 8 janitors, 4 cafeteria staff Clarkson Secondary School is a high school in Clarkson community of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada; designated Ward 18 by the Peel District School Board. Clarkson is an average school in both population (11th, at 866 students) and age (13th, built in 1969) of the entire Peel range of 28 public secondary schools. It is also known as the "Peel Academy for International Students".

History

Clarkson was designed like many 1970s-era schools in Ontario as part of an experimental open concept design. On the ground floor, the cafeteria and auditorium are central to the design; a tech/drama wing, staff room, and gymnasiums are placed on the west side, while a classroom wing adorns the east side. These were open to the hallways, to other classrooms, separated only by pillars. Other schools using the same concepts include The Woodlands Secondary School, Bayridge Secondary School, and St. Thomas More Catholic School. During the late 1970s, the design was abandoned for a more traditional approach, as such designs proved deficient in the leakage of noise from other classes.
