In 2014, an announcement was made that Midland SS and Penetanguishene SS would amalgamate, due to the declining enrollment of both schools. PSS closed at the end of the 2015–16 school year, with its 350 students joining the 500 students at the existing MSS building, which could accommodate up to 1,400 students, while construction of the new school took place. Construction began in the spring of 2016, and was expected to open in September 2018;^[2] however, in July of that year it was announced that it would not be ready. A new completion date was not provided.^[3] The new building opened for students on February 4, 2019.^[4]

Students at the school are involved in Student Council initiatives; international student exchanges; co-curricular programs associated with music, art, and drama; a variety of special interest clubs; and athletics.
