Planning is underway for a new #HighSchool in north #Langford as the student population continues to boom as the #WestShore attracts more families.
The proposed high school will be built on a 12-acre site in the #CityGateway area near Costco that #BCgovernment acquired 4 years ago for $20 million.
The facility includes an all-weather sports field with lights funded by the City of Langford and a theatre that could become a focal point for the arts on the West Shore.
Knowledgeable, enthusiastic #students will host stations around the city’s #HighSchool, sharing highlights of its recent seismic upgrade and expansion of its 1260 Grant St. location.
Vic High was founded in 1876 on the grounds of the current Central Middle School and is the #oldest public high school west of Manitoba.
Students who change schools between 8th and 9th grade (such as when adolescents from multiple middle schools move to a single high school) report significantly less delinquency after the shift than those who do not.
