At the Meeting of the Board on October 6, Trustees approved the executive council's recommendation to name the new school St. Martin of Tours.
The name was selected because of the strong connection to the local community and parish, along with significant input from students at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Mount Forest who put together a compelling submission for the name. We are proud to incorporate the voices of our students, local parishioners, and community members in shaping the school's legacy and identity.
We are pleased to share initial renderings of the new school. Information regarding timelines, progress, registration, etc. will be shared as it becomes available.
