Martingrove Collegiate Institute (MCI) is a non-semestered public secondary school located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Martin Grove Road in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is overseen by the Toronto District School Board. The school is home to the gifted program in Etobicoke. Construction of the school started about May 27, 1966, but by the Fall of 1966 it was still not ready to accept students. All Martingrove students were bused to Burnamthorpe C.I. for the Fall Term where they shared the school in a "split-shift" with the regular Burnamthorpe students. The Martingrove students had the afternoon shift, the Burnamthorpe students had the morning shift. This continued until after the Christmas break. The school celebrated its 40th anniversary in June 2006.
Martingrove's school colours are brown, white and orange and its mascot is a bear. The school's motto is Lumen in vobis est (The Light is Within You). The student-run newsmagazine The Martingrove Beacon, has, since its creation in 2002, won 15 Toronto Star High School Newspaper awards.[citation needed]
