Rattlesnake Point Public School celebrates its grand opening

Rattlesnake Point Public School has officially opened its doors.

The new Milton school welcomed students for the first time today (September 6th) for the 2022-23 school year.

Milton MPP, Parm Gill, announced that this project is a part of Ontario’s ongoing efforts to build and improve local schools, with the province providing the Halton District School Board with $22.9 million to build the school in Milton.

“The completion of the new Rattlesnake Point Public School is an incredible achievement for our community as we continue to support growth in Milton,” said Gill. “This investment will ensure families and students have access to a quality learning environment in the years ahead.”

Since 2018, the government has approved nine new schools and five expansions in Milton, including Rattlesnake Point Public School.

This project will deliver over 900 student spaces during the 2022-23 school year.

“Our government is investing $14 billion over ten years to build new schools, improve existing facilities and create child care spaces to ensure young people can reach their full potential,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “By building Rattlesnake Point Public School as well as investing in tutoring and mental health supports for the year ahead, we are getting students in Milton back on track now and well into the future. While we make progress building this new school for Milton to support hard-working parents, we remain committed to keeping students in class this September in more normal classrooms with extracurriculars, sports, and clubs.”

Rattlesnake Point Public School was announced in September 2020, followed by an additional investment of $1.5 million in April 2022.
