Rivalries
IRHS has a strong rivalry with White Oaks Secondary School (WOSS). Prior to the construction of IRHS, students living in the area were attending WOSS, the next closest public high school. When the school was constructed and WOSS's population divided, a rivalry ensued.
In June 2009, IRHS was vandalized by WOSS students who also stole all the trees planted earlier that week by the eco team straight out of the ground. WOSS was held responsible for this act because "WOSS '09" was signed over various external doors and windows on the first level. The culprits were later found to, in fact, be students of White Oaks Secondary School.
The other major rivalry is with Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School (HT). HT is a catholic high school in the same area of Oakville as Iroquois Ridge. Many students easily identify the high schools as opposites. IRHS is considered to be the academic powerhouse of North Oakville while HT is considered to be the athletic powerhouse of North Oakville. Whenever either school gets into the other school's area of expertise, an instant rivalry ensues.
