Brampton Centennial Secondary School (BCSS) is a public high school located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and is part of the Peel District School Board. In September 2008, BCSS had 1,775 students.
The first secondary school in Brampton opened in 1852 as Brampton High School with three students and its first principal A. Thompson. By 1888 it had an annual budget of $868.25. After a fire, the school building was reconstructed in 1977. Brampton Centennial Secondary School was built in 1967 — the Canadian Centennial year — to replace Brampton High School.
On 28 May 1975 Michael Slobodian, a student at the school, brought two rifles to school with the intention of killing two particular teachers and himself. He opened fire, killing one of the teachers and one student, and wounding 13 students before shooting and killing himself. This was only the second high school shooting in Canadian history.
Brampton Centennial has many athletics programs which are collectively known by students as "Buckland." The schools sports programs include Football, basketball, curling, swimming, track and field, volleyball, wrestling, hockey, baseball, Fast Pitch, cricket, badminton, lacrosse, rugby and soccer.
