The York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) invites Grade 8 students and their families to explore our Catholic secondary schools through our Open House events. These events provide an opportunity to learn about academic programs, extracurricular activities, school facilities, and the welcoming Catholic school communities that support student success.
We encourage families to attend an Open House to discover what each school has to offer and make informed decisions about their transition to secondary school.
**Please see below for Open House dates, times, and additional information for each school.**
