Programs

Parkside is a composite school offering pathways for those bound for the workforce, for college and for university. It is also the only secondary school in Elgin County that offers a French Immersion program.

Facilities

Recent facility upgrades include the resurfacing of the rubberized track, the installation of lights around the football field, the construction of a greenhouse, the addition of solar panels to the school roof, and the building of a storage building for the extracurricular Canadian football program.
