History and characteristics
The high school's crest.
- In 2007, the Eastern School District voted unanimously to recommend a replacement for the old montague regional high school on Fraser Street.
- In 2010, students and staff moved into a $22 million new Montague Regional High School, located on the Valleyfield Road. The new Montague High has over 700 students, a teaching staff of over forty, and twenty support staff. The new 108,000-square-foot (10,000 m2) facility was officially opened on September 15 by Premier Robert Ghiz. During the grand opening events at the new Montague High School, Premier Ghiz and Mr. Currie marked the day by assisting Principal Seana Evans-Renaud with a ribbon cutting and tree planting ceremony. The province also provided each student with a sapling of their own to take home and plant to commemorate the grand opening of the school.
- In 2011, Fair Isle Ford generously donating $20 for every test drive taken on April 20 to a maximum of $6000. The money raised was used to purchase equipment for MRHS. In addition, 10% of all money raised will be donated to Breast Cancer Research.
