In the media

Meadowvale Secondary School was used as the school for the 1988 B-movie The Brain, in which it was renamed "Meadowvale High School".

Between 1998 and 2000, Meadowvale Secondary School was the test site for a pilot program of the Youth News Network. Based on the American Channel One News, it saw the company Athena Educational Partners provide the school with free television sets and computers. In exchange, students would watch a daily newscast (unless they opted out), which included two and a half minutes of advertising.^[1] This provoked protest from a variety of community groups, who disagreed with the idea of showing commercials in the classroom.^[2] The program was discontinued.
