Dr. J.M. Denison S.S. is named after John Michael Denison (1933–2001), a family physician and former coroner for York Region. Denison was a witty and ambitious doctor who was much loved and respected in and around Newmarket. His generosity and outstanding work with teenagers inspired the community to name the school after him, an honour seldom bestowed on a living person.
