On September 17, 2024, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith addressed Albertans and announced the Alberta School Construction Accelerator Program. This new program provides school infrastructure funding to address enrolment pressures with Alberta’s growing population and includes funding for approved school projects to move to the next stage of the construction process.
As part of this announcement, we have received notice that the Barrhead Composite High School Modernization and Right-Sizing project will be moving to the construction phase. We await further details but are optimistic that construction may begin as early as the spring or summer of 2025.
More information will be shared as it becomes available.
