[edit] History

It is located in the building formerly occupied by Lakeview High School of the Lakehead District School Board system. The building was purchased by the Catholic Board in an auction for $1.

A renovation in 2008 will include a new auditorium and cafeteria, allowing more space for educational purposes. The addition is to reduce crowding and replace the portable classrooms currently in use.
