Ministry assessment and closure
Ministry assessment and closure
Around 2008 the Ministry of Education began the process (Accommodation Review Committee or ARC) of determining the future of the school. Based on declining enrollment (drop of 22% for 2008-2009), a decision was made to proceed with closing the school at the end of 2010 academic year after enrollment failed to reach the threshold of 350 as outline in 2009 ARC process along with complicated battle between the community and the District School Board of Niagara. The school was hampered by the aging population and drop in younger residents in the area when compared with other schools in the area. Students once served by the school were re-directed to Laura Secord Secondary School in St. Catharines and A. N. Myer Secondary School in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
