It serves the Lorne Park neighbourhood, as well as a larger catchment area for the Extended French program for all of southern Mississauga.
Lorne Park is well known in the Peel region for both its academic rigor and the successful sports teams from which many professional athletes have emerged.
It was built in order to secure extra funding during the Cold War period and so that students could have a suitable area to practice in.
Students are allowed to use the school facilities such as the library, gymnasium, track, field, and weight rooms outside of class.
Lorne Park has a variety of athletic programs, including football, cross-country, rugby, ice hockey and women's lacrosse teams.
Due to these successes, Lorne Park has been designated as having a Specialist High Skills Major in "Sports" by the Peel district school board.
Lorne Park's Football team currently competes in the Region of Peel Secondary Schools Athletic Association (ROPSSAA) at the Tier 1 level.
In particular, the most prestigious Canadian Interuniversity Sport award——the Hec Crighton Trophy——has been won by a Spartan alumni (Mike Raham) in 1968.
Recently, Spartan alumni Jack Cassar won the President's trophy for "Most Outstanding Stand-up Defensive Player" for his contributions as middle linebacker with the Carleton Ravens in 2019.
Lorne Park's football program also allowed over 30 players to progress to the NCAA level, and graduates have also gone on to play in the CFL and in the NFL, where the accolades of our former student athletes have continued to display.
Most notably, Klaus Wilmsmeyer was a punter for 7 years in the NFL; during this span, he played alongside Hall of Famers Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, and Steve Young in the San Francisco 49ers' Super Bowl XXIX victory.
Due to Klaus Wilmsmeyer success at the pro level, Lorne Park was among those recognized and were subsequently awarded a commemorative golden football by the NFL.
For instance, in 2000, the year the Spartans won the Metro Bowl championship, CityNews ranked Lorne Park as the #1 team provincially.
