About MVDHS

Our school, comprised of approximately 400 students and 45 staff, is located in Barry's Bay, Ontario. Many staff members and parents attended MVDHS as students themselves so their commitment to the school runs deep. Staff members choose to work here and parents encourage their children to attend MVDHS because they value the variety of extracurricular and academic programs we offer, and the community-minded environment that makes MVDHS a great place in which to learn and develop. We are thankful to the many parents and community members who attend our tournaments and events, and support our graduation award program.
