LLOYDMINSTER — The City of Lloydminster, and Lloydminster Catholic School Division are celebrating the completion of renovations and additions at Holy Rosary High School.
The Government of Saskatchewan allocated $4.2 million to the $10 million project, while the Government of Alberta contributed $5.8 million. The upgraded school now includes a new two-storey addition, boasting 16 more state-of-the-art classrooms, a resource centre and a practical and applied arts space. The renewed school's focus on energy efficiency has also resulted in significant upgrades to the building, promoting sustainability for years to come, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.
The additions have expanded the school by approximately 2,100 square metres. Formerly accommodating 750 students, the renovated school can now support around 1,200 students. The expansion includes a dedicated Dream Catcher Space, designed in collaboration with local Elders. This space will serve as a hub for Cree language studies and lessons on Indigenous culture. To honour traditional practices, the Dream Catcher Space features independent ventilation systems, allowing for smudge and pipe ceremonies.
"On behalf of the Lloydminster Catholic School Division Board of Trustees, I am thrilled to witness the official grand opening of Holy Rosary High School, a testament to our community's dedication to providing quality education," Lloydminster Catholic School Division Board chair Paula Scott said.
"Many partners made this possible and we look forward to celebrating that today. Together, we're shaping a brighter future for our students, our city and our world."
