History and development

Originally called Uxbridge High School, the original building was erected in 1923 and has undergone five major additions since then in 1965, 1979, 1985, 2003, and 2013. The building as it stands today has 81 classrooms, two gymnasiums, a cafeteria, library, and numerous staff and maintenance areas. At one point, there were 13 portables on site, including a "portapack", but these have largely been replaced with a new extension to the school. As of September 2009, Uxbridge Secondary School (USS) has a student population of 1475 along with 135 teaching and support staff. The population of the community is still on the rise and, coupled with a recent boundary shift to include Claremont residents, USS is expected to rise in the coming years.

Athletics

The Uxbridge Tigers are well known in Ontario for their success in athletics, specifically rugby. In 2011 the senior boys won gold at the "AAAA" OFSAA rugby final. During the 2013 OFSAA Cross Country Finals, the senior girls placed first, achieving a gold medal. 2015-2016 Senior Boys Rugby 15's "AAA" OFSAA champions. 2015-2016 Senior Girls Volleyball "AAA" OFSAA champions. 2015-2016 Senior Boys Volleyball "AAA" OFSAA consolation champions.
