Pauline Johnson Collegiate & Vocational School in Brantford, Ontario, Canada is a composite high school with collegiate and vocational departments. It was named in honour of the Canadian First Nations poet E. Pauline Johnson, who was born nearby.

The school was officially opened on October 18, 1955. In 1960, the fine new vocational wing was opened for use by the Technical and Commercial Departments making possible a full composite school. A second addition was completed in 1963. In 1971, a new addition provided more facilities.[citation needed]

As of June 15th, 2016[2] the school is also home of the Kiwanis Field[3], which is now the home turf of the Thunderbirds[3]. This field was "Brantford’s first state-of-the-art, multi-purpose athletic facility with a full size CFL synthetic turf playing field and an 8-lane rubberized track as its focal point. Rounding out the facilities other features are two long jump pits, two shot put areas and one high jump approach with plans for the future to build a throws area for discus and shot put.[2]".
