Overview

West Ferris Secondary School's motto is "Commit to Excellence". Athletes and students at West Ferris are known as the West Ferris Trojans and the school colours are forest green and white.

West Ferris has been dedicated to serving the community of North Bay and surrounding areas for more than 100 years. The school is rooted in the past but very much focused on the future.

Although West Ferris Secondary is widely known for its athletics and trades courses, the school offers three different Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) courses. These SHSM courses are offered in the Arts and Culture, Business, and Construction domains, and students who complete a sufficient number of courses in one of these areas are awarded a special certificate indicating a competency in said field. Completion of a SHSM program allows students to focus on a career path that matches their skills and interests. West Ferris also has a ST-Wireless course in which each student is provided with a Macbook Pro and go through a higher standard technology focused course.
