School History

St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School opened its doors on an off-site location to 134 Grade 9 Students from Churchill Meadows community on September 7, 2004. Clara Pitoscia was the founding Principal and with a staff of twelve teachers, the Chaplaincy leader, and three secretaries the school community began to establish its foundation. St. Joan of Arc was the third high school in Mississauga to be built in partnership with the City of Mississauga sharing a public library facility and community area. In January 2007, two and half years after the school was founded, the students and staff moved into the permanent site at 3801 Thomas Street.{{Cite web|title=St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School|url=https://www.dpcdsb.org/JOANA/about/school-history|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015231252/https://www.dpcdsb.org/JOANA/about/school-history|archive-date=2017-10-15|access-date=2021-09-02|website=School History|publisher=St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School}}
