Principal’s Message

Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, and Community Members,

Welcome to Oakville Trafalgar High School (OTHS)—a school community where tradition meets innovation, and where we proudly uphold our motto: “A Tradition of Excellence Since 1908.”

As Principal, I am honoured to lead a school that is deeply committed to academic excellence while fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every student feels a genuine sense of belonging. At OTHS, we believe that when students are valued and engaged, they thrive both personally and academically.

Our dedication to student achievement is reflected in the breadth and depth of our academic offerings. OTHS is proud to also offer a comprehensive Advanced Placement (AP) Program, providing students with a range of rigorous courses and exams. We offer a vibrant French Immersion program that promotes bilingualism and cultural literacy.

Learning at OT extends far beyond the classroom. Our students benefit from a strong athletics program, where they build teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit through sports. OT has a long history of success in athletics including Halton Championships and OFSAA placings. We offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including clubs such as Robotics and DECA, which allow students to explore their passions in technology, business, sciences, the arts, environment, and leadership in dynamic, hands-on and real-world applications.

At the heart of OTHS is a school culture grounded in respect, collaboration, and community. Whether you are new to our school or returning for another year, we are committed to ensuring that all students feel connected, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential. 

Thank you for being a part of our community. We look forward to working together in continuing our proud legacy, A Tradition of Excellence Since 1908.

C Peterson
Principal
