In 2006, the school received an addition to the back of the school, adding fourteen classrooms and a second story, which removed the 12 portables that previously littered the area. The school's student council has worked towards pushing for a uniform-free week, as well as a second semi-formal, believing it to improve school spirit. In mid-2007 the school saw a lockdown which lasted 2 hours. It is home to a generally large European and Newfoundlander population, and is one of the two Catholic High Schools in Cambridge, drawing students from most of South Galt. Monsignor Doyle is a member of the eight team District 8 Athletic Association.
Monsignor Doyle administration, staff, and students have worked together to create a safe and respectful education culture that is inclusive of all people. After the Waterloo Catholic District School Board approved the flying of the Pride flag in 2021, Monsignor Doyle raised its Pride flag for the first time on June 1, 2021.[1]
