Lake-of-Two-Mountains High School
Lake-of-Two-Mountains High School (LTM; French: École secondaire Lake-of-Two-Mountains) is an Anglophone public high school in Deux-Montagnes, Quebec in the Laurentides region. It is a part of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board.
The school's service area includes Deux Montagnes, Kanesatake, southern portions of Mirabel, Oka, Pointe-Calumet, Saint-Eustache, Saint-Placide, Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, and St-Joseph-du-Lac.[1] As of 2014 55 students from Kanesatake choose to attend Lake of Two Mountains.[2]
History
Before secularization of the Quebec school system, this was a Protestant school, and it was covering the English-speaking population. In 1972 the school received an influx of Catholic English-speaking students,[3] because the North Island Regional School Board stopped accepting English-speaking Catholics at the high school level.[4]
The current campus was built in 1983, replacing the previous facility.[2] The previous facility was in the center of Deux Montagnes, and it was scheduled to become an elementary school for French-speaking children after the school moved.[3]
Programs
As of 2005 the school has the "16 Plus" alternative education program for students at risk of dropping out of high school altogether; they may receive a life skills diploma, but not a full high school diploma, if they graduate from this program.[5]
