Newtonbrook Secondary School (Newtonbrook SS, NSS or commonly known as Newtonbrook) is a high school for students in Grades 9 to 12 in the Newtonbrook neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was part of the North York Board of Education until the Toronto school boards were amalgamated in the late 1990s.

History

Opened in 1964 by the then North York Board of Education to provide a closer school for the area (formerly served by Earl Haig Secondary School to the south) with 610 pupils. It was officially opened in Winter 1965 by Newtonbrook-born and then Prime Minister of Canada Lester B. Pearson.

The building's design resembled Sir Sanford Fleming Academy but alterations occurred years later.

It is considered to be one of the more sports-oriented high schools in the Toronto District School Board. Some of the athletics offered are: Rugby, basketball, soccer, track, ultimate, volleyball, baseball, softball, cheer leading, dance team, water polo, cross-country running, swimming, badminton and wrestling.

Some elective academic programmes offered are: French immersion programme, fashion design, dance, music and a thorough computers science program.

The sports field is used by Toronto City Saints rugby team of the Canada Rugby League.
