Each month, one school in the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District Board is highlighted at the Committee of the Whole Meeting as part of a school profile program to celebrate school excellence.

The school profile program, which launched on January 15 2019, provides a brief history of the profiled school, along with contact information, enrolment, a photo and Family of Schools.

Commenting on the Ontario Catholic Bishops’ Pastoral Letter for Catholic Education, “Renewing the Promise,” Chairperson Patrick Daly indicated that the Board of Trustees’ new term of office is a good opportunity to renew the promise by “continuing to strengthen our Catholic schools as communities that exemplify the Good News of Jesus in word and deed” (Renewing the Promise).

“For more than 160 years, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board has been built on a rich tradition of excellence. Our story in Hamilton has been enriched by the contributions of our schools, each of which has helped to shape the faith formation and academic and co-curricular achievements of our students.” said Daly. “It is here that faith and excellence are nurtured, and our mission is realized.”

He added that the school profile is a way to acknowledge the important role that each school has played in the board’s success.

“While each has its history and culture, our schools are united in the shared mission of Catholic education.”

Currently, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board operates 49 elementary and 7 secondary schools.
