Markham District High School is a public high school in the town of Markham, Ontario, Canada. It is one of 29 high schools in the York Region District School Board.
MDHS and its approximately 2,100 full-time students are active in spirit and in the community. The school hosts approximately forty clubs, some of which are activist-based (for example, Amnesty International). MDHS is well known for its Music program, which participates in various music festivals, competitions and other events. MDHS offers a three-year Latin program and supports a Classics Club. MDHS also offers AP (Advanced Placement) programs and the Core Gifted program.
MDHS participates in the following annual events:
- Black History Month
- Battle of the Bands
- "Cabaret" music night
- Mosaic Mix Cultural Show
- Heart and Stroke Foundation Campaign
- Cancer Campaign
- Certamen
- Classics conference
- Free The Children Holiday Run
- Markham Bowl Annual football game between Markham District High School and Brother André Catholic High School.
The Markham Maurauders are the official sports team, best known for football and rugby.
A new school will be built over time on one of the school's fields, and will open for the 2009/2010 academic year. Currently, the projected number of people for that year is to be 1400, a drop of about 700 students from the 2006/2007 year. This will occur as a result of another high school's (Bur Oak) territory overlapping with Markham District's current boundaries.[citation needed]
