School Renovations

The NEW old front steps

Renovations were completed in 2005.

One of the most visible renovations was the raising of a new front entrance for the school. The new entrance provides a front foyer and new office facilities. The front steps to the building, covered over 20 years ago, are uncovered and refurbished. These two parts of the project are visible to all.

The new office space is back in Wing One. Likewise, the Guidance and Co-op offices are back in Wing One. All classrooms are now up and running back in their original locations.
