Since taking on the role of your Councillor, I have been unwavering in my efforts to advocate for a high school in Oak Ridges. I have had several meetings with the Director of Education to expedite the construction of this school. Therefore, I am delighted to finally witness some tangible progress. Oak Ridges has been promised a secondary school for so long and it's finally being built.
A Site Plan Application have been submitted to the City by the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) to build the Dr. Bette Stephenson Secondary School in Oak Ridges.
YRDSB requested a site plan amendment to convert the existing adult learning center into a public secondary school with a 5,100 square meter addition to the existing building.
Now the school won't go up overnight. According to the YRDSB website the school is proposed to open September 2027.

You can take a sneak peak at the proposed site and elevation plans below.
