On September 3, 1985,
Jean Vanier Catholic High School opened its doors to 40 students at St.
Mary's Church. In 1986 the school moved to its present location and
consisted of one hall with six classrooms and a library. The school
population grew quickly which required the building of the present
facility in 1994.
Clayton Capes,
President of the 1994 Student Council, and Mr. Robert Gill, trustee for
the School Board, lend each other a hand at the official ground
breaking.
In 2005, an addition was completed that added 10 more classrooms to the school including a computer equipped photography room.
Following the most recent renovation in 2016, the present
Jean Vanier High School boasts a double gymnasium, a cafeteria with a
stage, a music room, art and tech areas, computer labs, a chapel, an
expanded library, student achievement centre, dance studio, fitness room, communication technology lab, construction and small engine shops, and additional academic wings.
