House system
A feature that makes the school unique is its house system. All homerooms are split into 4 houses named after prominent Canadian politicians: Baldwin, Frontenac, Tupper and Vanier. Each house competes throughout the school year at different competitions (House Wars, homeroom games, citrus sales, etc...) to earn points. The house with the most points wins the Housemasters Cup at the final assembly of the school year.
Distinctions
The school was visited by Pierre Elliot Trudeau, then Prime Minister of Canada, and is named after a former Governor General of Canada, Daniel Roland Michener.
A team from Roland Michener won the 1982-83 national championship of Reach for the Top.
