CBE announces 2022-23 high school designation changes designed to balance enrolment

CALGARY — The Calgary Board of Education has released its list of high school designations for communities ahead of the 2022-23 school year, and some families will find they'll be enrolled at a different school than they expected.

In a letter to parents and guardians sent Tuesday, CBE officials announced the altered designations that are part of what the board calls its "sustainable plan to balance enrolment at CBE high schools."

The finalized plan is the same as the plan proposed on June 1 ahead of the final phase of feedback from students, staff, parents and community members. The CBE initially hosted information sessions and issued a survey regarding proposed designation changes in 2019.

In a statement, the CBE said the following will apply to current Grade 10 and 11 students:
