Simcoe County’s Grade 8 students are encouraged to attend a Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board (SMCDSB) local high school’s upcoming Open House.

“Choosing a high school is an exciting milestone for Grade 8 students and their families,” said Scot Gorecki, secondary school superintendent. “Our Catholic high schools offer a welcoming environment where students are encouraged to explore their interests, discover their strengths and reach their full potential.

“We invite all families to join us, learn more about the programs and opportunities available, and experience firsthand what makes our schools such special places to learn and grow,” Gorecki said.

It is not a requirement to be Catholic to attend a Catholic high school.

Families can tour the school, ask questions, learn about programs and clubs and hear from current staff and students.
