Location
Initially, the board planned to build two separate schools on the site with a shared heating plant, but in October 1957, trustee Dorothy Bishop prepared a report which raised the possibility of saving money by placing the two schools under one roof, as had previously been done in Vancouver and Calgary.
DMCI shares its building with Don Mills Middle School (formerly Don Mills Junior High). They have different street addresses and the interior is designed in a way that keeps the schools separated except for a common library. The auditorium in DMCI is also used by both schools.
Gifted
Don Mills Collegiate has a gifted program for students. The program was moved to DMCI in 1997 from Earl Haig Secondary School and has increased the number of students in the school.
Cyberarts
The school also houses CyberARTS, a multi-disciplinary arts and technology program. It also offers computer technology and communications technology courses, as well as a comprehensive technological design (shop) program.
English language classes are available to assist newcomers from all over the world.
Competitions and extracurriculars
For several years before the arrival of new administrators Diana Panagiotopoulos, Praveena Sivarajah, and Christina Wilson, Don Mills has been consistently represented in the International Math Olympiads, International Physics Olympiads, and the DECA International Career Development Conference. In addition, the school has also performed well in chemistry competitions, including the University of Waterloo's Avogadro and Chem 13 competitions, as well as the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad. Recently, Don Mills has also performed to a respectable degree in biology competitions, including the Canadian Biology Olympiad and the University of Toronto National Biology Competition, with students moving to national finals for the past two years.
The Bulldog
DMCI's student-run newspaper, The Bulldog, is one of the few weekly high school publications in Ontario, and has been honoured at the Toronto Star High School Newspaper Awards.
Reach for the Top
DMCI's Reach for the Top team placed seventh at the Ontario Provincials in the 2010-2011 season, their best achievement in the competition.
YPS
In 1998, DMCI was asked by the Toronto District School Board to represent Canada at the inaugural Young People's Summit (YPS), held in conjunction with the annual meeting of G8 countries in Birmingham, England.
Northern Lights
Don Mills is also home of the award-winning Northern Lights Show Choir. Northern Lights is Ontario's longest-running high school show choir. They are under the musical direction of Cathy Whiteside, with choreography by Michelle Brewer and pit band direction by Jamie Bird. This group performs throughout the community and attends performances and competitions in both the US and Canada.
