School Spotlight: St. Leo Catholic School

This School Spotlight segment features St. Leo Catholic School. Thank you to the St. Leo staff for taking the time to gather and reflect on the past, present and future of the school.

Past:

The original St. Leo Catholic School opened on September 8, 1964. It was a small, brown brick building with only four classrooms and an office and staffroom - no gym or library! In that same year, there were only two Grade 8 graduates. As the school and community began to grow, the new St. Leo Catholic School opened in September 1998. 

Present:

In September 2023, St. Leo became the DCDSB's newest French Immersion centre. St. Leo has a rich history of academics, love of French language and sports success. 

Future:

Our hope for the future of St. Leo Catholic School is that we continue to have a strong relationship with the Church (which is located right next door!) and broader community as we celebrate the importance of French language and culture here in the little town of Brooklin.
