History
Mary Phelan Catholic School was officially opened Sunday November 23, 1975. Built in the South end of Guelph on the west side of the Hanlon Expressway, Mary Phelan was named after a well loved teacher and Principal from our school system. The school was originally built for 200 students and housed Kindergarten to grade six classes with a staff of only eight people including Miss M.C. Collins the principal, and the school secretary!
Through the
years, Mary Phelan has had a host of caring principals. After Miss
Collins came Mr. Ken Krusky, Miss Rosemary Kennedy, Mr. Abbey Densmore,
Mrs. JoAnne Hayter, Mrs. Josephine Scott, Mr. Tony Bazinet, and
Mr. David Marcoccia is the current Principal.
In
May of 2001, Mary Phelan Catholic School opened a new chapter
with a large addition and renovations to the original structure
to update it to match the new wing. The new school holds
350 students from Junior Kindergarten through grade eight
and a staff of 23 teachers, administrators, educational
assistants, teacher specialists and custodians. Mary Phelan
School provides students with a Catholic Education that
is modern in its outlook and presentation but committed
to basic education and spiritual principles.
