A new Catholic high school is expected to be completed in Camrose by 2025.
The new school, part of Elk Island Catholic Schools, will be for Grades 9 to 12 and will accomodate 410 students, with room for expansion to 610 students.
Construction is anticipated to begin either later this year or early 2023.
Premier Jason Kennery attended the sod-turning earlier this year, along with Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely.
Elk Island Catholic School Board is holding a naming contest for the school.
“I look forward to hearing their selection,” said Lovely.
