We will have a new school ready for classes starting next week!
Milton MPP Parm Gill has announced that Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School has completed construction and will be used as a holding school for students expected to attend St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School. Once St. Kateri Tekakwitha has been completed, Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School will transition from a holding school to a JK to Grade 8 school “to address accommodation pressures at St. Scholastica CES.”
The provincial government has invested $18.7 million into helping develop this Halton Catholic District School Board school. That is part of the Ontario government’s commitment to providing $14 billion to support school construction over 10 years. Since 2018, the government has approved nine new schools and five expansions in Milton.
“The completion of the new Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School is exciting news for our community as we continue to support new, modern schools for students in Milton,” says MPP Gill. “We will continue to work hard for the families and students of Milton.”
“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,” says Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce. “By building Milton #10 Catholic Elementary 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 extra curriculars, sports, and clubs.”
“We are delighted with the completion of this new school in Milton and are excited to be able to temporarily welcome students and staff from St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Secondary School into this brand-new building, as they await the completion of their new school,” commented Marvin Duarte, Milton Trustee and Chair of the Board. “We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Ministry of Education, and in particular the collaboration with Minister Gill as we work together to meet the needs of students and families in our growing community of Milton.”
Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School is located at 675 Kennedy Circle West in Milton.
