History

A.N. Myer was named after Andrew Nicholas Myer, who was principal of Stamford Collegiate for many years. He was later appointed School Superintendent for the city of Niagara Falls. He lived in Chippawa near Niagara until his death in the 1960s.

Curling

The A. N. Myer Boys' curling team in 2016-2017 consisted of Tyler Mills, Nicholas Vadacchino, Michael "Danger" Huang, Sourena Noori, and Victor Pietrangelo. The team went undefeated in their journey to OFSAA, held in North Bay, Ontario, before winning every single game there.

Football

From 2014 to 2016, the senior boys football team won 3 straight OFSAA championships.[1][2] Along with the OFSAA championship in 2016, the team also finished the season ranked 2nd in Canada, and finished those past 3 seasons with a combined record of 24-1.[3] The Junior team has also enjoyed major success over the past several years, and as the case with the seniors as well, have won multiple zone and divisional (Niagara Bowl) titles. Although one of the most notable successes was in 2013, when they won the Junior Metrobowl.[4] The seniors have made dominant runs to the past 3 Niagara Bowls (public school board champion vs catholic school board champion), but they've come up short in all 3 finals. 2 at the hands of Notre Dame College School in 2017 and 2019,[5][6] and 1 at the hands of St Paul Catholic High School in 2018.[7] Those 3 teams would all end up making runs to OFSAA.[8][9][10] The juniors have also made recent runs to the Niagara bowl in 2017 and 2018. They came up short in 2018 to Notre Dame College School, but in 2017 they defeated Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School,[11] and ended up advancing all the way to the Junior Metrobowl semifinals, where they came up short to Lorne Park Secondary School.[12]

Other athletics

As mentioned, Myer is known for their strong athletic program, and considered by many as one of the best in the region. Well represented in most sports, they've achieved success in other sports such as soccer, badminton, tennis, hockey, baseball, softball, rowing, track and field, volleyball, basketball, golf, etc. Many athletes and teams have made runs to SOSSA and OFSAA, and the school is constantly well represented at all these events. Many zone and divisional titles have also been won, and have had many successful tournaments. That success hasn't slowed down, as many teams and athletes have made recent runs to SOSSA and OFSAA, and have broken records along the way (such as in track and field). Some of these teams have also recently pulled off their best results in school history, such as in rowing (20+ medals and an athlete winning the triple crown in the 2018/2019 season), boys baseball (silver medal at OFSAA in 2019), golf (first ever OFSAA appearance in 2018 and back to back appearances in 2018 and 2019), senior boys soccer (back to back OFSAA playoff appearances in 2018 and 2019), and boys hockey (first ever zone championship in the 2018/2019 season).
