History
Lockerby Composite School was opened in 1958 as a part of the Nickel District Collegiate Institute Board.[1]
In 1995 after Lockerby student Laura Cotesta was diagnosed with cancer, the school created the annual Kids Caring for Kids Cancer Drive which involved students going door-to-door collecting money near the school to fundraise for the Northern Cancer Foundation.[2] In 2023, the total amount of money raised reached $1 million.[3]

Academics
Science Technology Education Program (STEP)
Lockerby's Science Technology Education Program (STEP) was founded in 1991, with the intention of helping students who are more inclined to enter science and technology pathways. STEP students entering grades 9 and 10 study science, technological design, mathematics, and social science courses for the entire school year, leaving time for participation in STEP integration days each week with experts in STEP-related academic fields compared to the regular four-class semesters for regular students. In grades 11 and 12, STEP students choose to study a science and technology specialization based on their courses of interest, with their schedule returning to the regular 4 courses per semester with no STEP Integrations Days.[4]
