Kitchener’s Huron Heights Secondary School overcrowded
Quote:Local boards are now seeking up to $64 million in provincial funding to build two new high schools, one Catholic and one public, both in south Kitchener. Public school planners may request a third new high school.
The former Liberal government said no last year. The Progressive Conservative government hasn't said when it will invite boards to ask again.
Local boards predict they'll have up to 7,100 more high school students by 2031. It's unclear if this projection will hold, based on actual growth, which has been slower.
