Barton Secondary School is a decommissioned high school located in Hamilton, Ontario. The school opened in 1959, and was closed in 2015. The building currently sits vacant, and will potentially be a replacement building for the Sherwood Secondary School, as that building requires numerous repairs. The fire alarm system is from the 2000s.
