Duncan MacMillan High School (DMHS) was a P-12 school in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was replaced by Marine Drive Academy.
Duncan MacMillan High hosts grades primary–12, as well as a pre-primary program and teaches 249 students. It has the largest geographical area for bussing in the Halifax Regional School Board. As of 2017-18, the school's administrative team consisted of Principal Ronnie Reynolds and Vice Principal Troy Smith. In addition, there are 20 teaching staff and 12 support staff. Although DMHS is small in student population, it does provide the courses necessary for any post-secondary program. Throughout both junior and senior high, there is a continuing option for students to follow the Integrated French program in which French Language Arts (FLA) and social studies are taught in French, with the remaining courses being taught in English. In addition to the services provided directly by the Halifax Regional School Board, DMHS is also provided service by the Nova Scotia Health Authority via the school's Youth Health Centre.
In December 2013, the HRSB began a plan that would eventually see all of the DMHS feeder schools closed, the present DMHS building vacated and possibly demolished, and in their place would be a single new school next to the current site DMHS occupies, educating grades primary through 12, as well as hosting a pre-primary program. Sheet Harbour Consolidated School (SHCS), as well as Lakefront Consolidated School in nearby Tangier, previous feeder schools of DMHS, were closed in 2017 and 2019 respectively, to make way for the new school. SHCS was demolished in 2017 as a consequence of this plan. DMHS currently hosts the students of SHCS and will host them until the new school is opened.
