Dear Future Mustangs,

As the Principal of Vincent Massey Secondary School, I would like to take this opportunity to personally welcome you to our Grade 8 Guided Tour this evening. We have prepared the evening for you to get a sense of what you will experience over the next four years. These years should be your best ones yet, and will prepare you for successful post-secondary opportunities.

As the top academic school in the region, Massey can offer you an outstanding learning experience. As a cultural hub with championship sport teams and an extensive variety of extracurricular activities, Massey can also provide you with highly engaging opportunities outside of class. This combination of top-ranked academics, engaging teachers and a rich student life is what makes Massey your best choice.

When most people think of Massey, they think of excellence. I promise you that as your Principal, we will do everything that we can to ensure that "excellence" is exactly what you will get when you choose to become a Mustang. We will work tirelessly to ensure that your four years here are welcoming, engaging, fun, and most of all, successful.

Welcome to your future and welcome to Massey!

Yours in Blue and Orange,

Mrs. J. Rankin, Principal
