Our division is scheduled to open six new Catholic schools in fall 2017. They will be built in Martensville, Warman and in Saskatoon in the neighbourhoods of Evergreen, Hampton Village, Rosewood and Stonebridge. In our tradition at Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, our schools have both a name and a dedication. School Names - A school name is typically identifiably Catholic and, if it is a person’s name, it is someone who has completed their journey here in this world. Please let us know if you have names in mind for these new schools. Send us an email with: Your Name, Your Suggestion(s), and Reasons for your suggestion(s). For the Saskatoon schools: Please send your suggestion(s) to [email protected] If you live in one of the neighbourhoods getting a school please let us know which one. For Martensville and Warman: Please email your suggestion(s) to either [email protected] or [email protected] and again, let us know if you live in one of these communities. If you would like your suggestion(s) considered for all of the schools, please indicate that. Dedications -We will also dedicate each of our new schools to a person who has made a significant contribution to the community the school serves. Do you know someone who deserves this honour? Please include your name, community and suggestion, as well as some brief background about the person you are nominating. Make your name/dedication suggestions before May 22, 2015. The final choices will be announced by Fall 2015. (Six separate committees comprised of people from each neighbourhood/community and the school division will submit a shortlist of names to the Board of Education for its decision.
