GENERAL INFORMATION

This school was given the Laura Secord namesake upon its opening in 1966. Laura Secord Secondary School is currently known in the region as a prime school for arts and music, and celebrates the legacy of Laura Secord at school-wide and community events with its unofficial mascot the cow.
 
Laura Secord Secondary School was opened in 1966 at 349 Niagara Street, St. Catharines. The building is in the former Grantham Township, which was a transited ground for retreating forces during the War of 1812 between Burlington Heights to the West in Hamilton, Ontario, and Fort George to the East in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
 
The school is a tribute to the legacy of Laura Secord and the War of 1812: it uses the unofficial mascot of a cow, a reference to Laura's supposed animal companion on the trek to Fitzgibbon's headquarters at DeCew Falls in 1813.
