Sudbury Secondary School

Sudbury Secondary School is a high school in the downtown of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, well known for its performing arts classes, such as drama, dance, music, and art. It also has a variety of main stage productions, both from within the school and from other organizations.

The school is overseen by the Rainbow District School Board. In December, 2007, the School Board's Administrative Council recommended that the school undergo a renewal project. Items recommended for renewal: reducing excess space in the school; more parking for staff, students and visitors; that the guidance office be moved closer to the office; that the school should become more environmentally friendly; potential movement of the arts department so that it is closer to the auditorium, etc. There are also many alterations suggested for the Sheridan Auditorium, such as adding change rooms, and putting in new seats.
