A new Milton school has received additional funding from the Government of Ontario!
St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School has received an extra $13.5 million in funding, making the total investment for the new school $67 million.
“The funding for the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School in Milton is great news for our community,” says Parm Gill, MPP for Milton. “I am most proud of our government for investing in new state-of-the-art equipment for the children and teachers. This investment will ensure families and students have access to a quality learning environment now and in the years ahead.”
Once completed, this project will deliver 1,611 secondary spaces for local families.
“Our government is investing $14 billion over ten years to build new schools, improve existing facilities and create childcare spaces to ensure young people can reach their full potential,” says Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “By building the new state-of-the-art St. Kateri Catholic Secondary School in Milton, 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 secondary school in Milton to support hard-working parents, we remain committed to keeping students in more normal classrooms with extra curriculars, sports, and clubs.”
The Government of Ontario is delivering more than $26.6 billion in education funding for the 2022-23 school year, which is the highest investment in public education in Ontario’s history.
“Additional funding for the construction of St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School is wonderful news for the students, staff and families in this growing school community in Milton”, says Marvin Duarte, Chair of the Halton Catholic School Board and Milton Trustee. “As a Catholic school district, we recognize the importance of community. We value the continued partnership and collaboration with MPP Parm Gill and his dedication to the needs of our Milton students and families.”
St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School will be located at the intersection of Louis St. Laurent Avenue and Kennedy Circle in Milton.
