Miles Macdonell Collegiate, sometimes referred to as Miles Mac, is a high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba that opened in September 1952 and is part of the River East Transcona School Division. Up until 2023, it was one of the six schools in Manitoba that participated in the International Baccalaureate Program, having announced its end in March of that year. The school offers classes in French Immersion geared towards university attendance in either official language. Miles Macdonell also offers the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP), which is a program that allows students the opportunity to start an apprenticeship in the skilled trades prior to graduating.^[1]

The school is named after Miles Macdonell who, as the first governor of the Red River Settlement, led the Red River Settlers in 1812 and reported directly to Lord Selkirk, founder of the settlement. He is commemorated with a plaque that can be found just inside the front doors on Roch Avenue.

Several extracurricular programs offered at Miles MacDonnell include, but are not limited to: Reach for the Top, Chess Club, several Athletics Programs, Mathematics Club, Theatrical Productions, Musical programming such as Jazz band & Compass (formerly Prodigy), Youth in Philanthropy (YiP), KEY Club (Kiwanis Youth), Vietnam Orphanage Committee, and others.
