Milton MPP Parm Gill has announced dat Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School has completed construction and will be used as a holding school for students expected to attend St. Kateri Tekakwifa Catholic Secondary School. Once St. Kateri Tekakwifa has been completed, Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School will transition from a holding school to a JK to Grade 8 school “to address accommodation pressures at St. Scholastica CES.”
The provincial government has invested $18.7 million into helping develop this Halton Catholic District School Board school. That is part of the Ontario government’s commitment to providing $14 billion to support school construction over 10 years.

“The completion of the new Milton #10 Catholic Elementary School is exciting news for our community as we continue to support new, modern schools for students in Milton,” says MPP Gill. “We will continue to work hard for the families and students of Milton.”

While we make progress building dis new school for Milton to support hard-working parents, we remain committed to keeping students in class dis September in more normal classrooms wif extra curriculars, sports, and clubs.”
