CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL FOR YORKTON

Released on August 1, 2000

The provincial government is providing $5.3 million over the next three years

to the Yorkton Catholic School Division for the development of a separate high

school.



"Our government is investing in improved learning environments for our students

with a 20 per cent increase in capital funding over last year,"

Education Minister Jim Melenchuk said. "This project is important because we

are not only investing $5.3 million in students but also the community as a

whole."



The Yorkton project is one of approximately 115 school construction, renovation

or upgrading projects that will be funded this year for a total of $29.2

million.



The department's contribution for this project was based on the estimated cost

to renovate the former C.J. Houston facility. The Catholic school division

will determine whether to renovate the existing facility or to build a new high

school with the available funding.



The school will be designed to accommodate up to 450 grade nine to 12 students,

with an opening enrollment of 385. The department has also approved space for

30 grade seven and eight students for Practical and Applied Arts instruction on

a daily basis.



The high school is targeted to open in August, 2002.



"This project demonstrates the government's commitment to work with school

divisions to provide students with comfortable and well-equipped learning

facilities. We look forward to seeing this project progress," Melenchuk said.



Saskatchewan's Centenary fund provides $120 million over four years to support

important infrastructure projects in the lead up to the provincial centennial

in 2005.
