Meet Mr. McCowan
"Welcome to our St. Joan of Arc community, the hidden gem of the TCDSB. My name is Mr. McCowan and I have been teaching at St. Joan for 10 years. I teach Science, Leadership and Student Success.
Teaching leadership is the best thing about my job. Watching students blossom into leaders and find a new confidence and sense of self is just about the best feeling.
There are so many things that make St. Joan a fantastic place for you. We hope that you are the next generation of St. Joan graduates we are looking for."
We are...
Our teachers are passionate, committed, innovative, and real.
We know that relationships are the key to engagement. We bring our love of our subjects to our students and use it to engage our students beyond the textbook. We seek innovative ways to increase student achievement by focusing on the student as a whole person inside our school structure.

We are...
Our diversity is a source of strength and enrichment
Each student brings a wealth of cultural knowledge and unique perspectives. At St. Joan we know that this makes us better critical thinkers. We also understand that we are unified by our need to belong. No matter how you are in academic ability, ethnic, or socio-economic background, there is a place for you.
