Naming Our Proposed Future Catholic Collegiate High School

About the Naming Process

Lakeland Catholic School Division is undertaking a thoughtful, faith-centred process to name the proposed new Catholic Collegiate High School in Cold Lake.

A Catholic school's name becomes part of its identity, traditions, culture and legacy. The naming process is guided by Board Policy 20 – Naming of Educational Facilities and Administrative Procedure 119, with opportunities for community input, committee discernment, diocesan consultation and final consideration by the Board of Trustees.
