About Our School
Bell High School, home to the Bell Bruins, is a composite school situated on the edge of the beautiful NCC parkland, bordering Lynwood Village in Bells Corners near the junction of the Queensway and Highway 416. Named after Richard (Dick) Bell, a local politician, Bell High School was constructed in 1962. In 2017, Bell became a grades 7-12 school. Some of our alumni include John Manley, Steve Yzerman, John Baird, and Allison Korn.
Our mascot, a brown bear sports the Bell Bruin colours, red and black, and our school motto is “Vitam Impendere Vero: Seek Truth in Life”.
