History

Nantyr Shores Secondary School in Alcona opened in 2001 as the only three storey school in the Simcoe County.

The Tritons

Nantyr Shores has an unusual mascot, The Triton (nicknamed Regan). The Triton is represented as an aqua type man with blonde hair, bare chest as well as gold and teal pants. Regan was picked as the name for the mascot as this was the name of a former vice principal at Nantyr who died of cancer. The mascot was purchased by the 2005-2006 Nantyr Shores Student Council.

Spin 4 Kids

Spin 4 Kids is an annual event that takes place at Nantyr Shores, this event is to raise money not only for Nantyrs sports teams and clubs but the Royal Victorian Hospitals Cancer Care Center. Spin 4 Kids consists of over 50 riders at a time pedaling for 12 hours, live entertainment, a Hallway of Achievement, silent auction, and plenty of refreshments. This event is put together mostly by students. Over the past three years since 2005 this event has raised over $18,000 for the RVH Cancer Care Center, and approximately $68,000 for Nantyr's sports teams and clubs.

Gaia Project

The Gaia Project is an initiative set up by the E.C.O.S Club at Nantyr Shores to fund the future project of the placement of solar panels on top of the school's roof. As of 2010 the project is in its second year; a gala event takes place in January^[when?] to help raise funds for the project and is supported by the community, local business, as well as the staff and students at Nantyr Shores.
