In a move to responsibly manage resources and to ensure uninterrupted and high-quality education for students, the Black Gold School Division (BGSD) and the Wild Rose School Division (WRSD) are working together to facilitate the temporary relocation of Breton High School’s grade 7-12 students to Warburg School during the upcoming Breton High School modernization project.
With construction funding now secured through the School Construction Funding Accelerator Program, all grade 7-12 students from Breton High School will be temporarily moved to Warburg School starting February 11, 2025, until the project is completed.
Breton High School will retain its staff, students, and identity throughout the modernization project and will occupy an unused portion of Warburg School, and will have access to sufficient classrooms, a gymnasium, shop, science lab, and music room for the duration of the construction. Furniture, equipment and school supplies will be moved from Breton High School to Warburg School in the first week of February, so that staff can get their classrooms ready.
“Black Gold is pleased to support our neighboring school division by working together to ensure that Breton High School students receive a seamless and high-quality educational experience at Warburg School during their school’s modernization project,” said BGSD Board Chair Esther Eckert. “We look forward to a productive partnership with the Wild Rose School Division and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.”
“Our Board and administration thank Black Gold School Division for allowing us to temporarily utilize Warburg School during our high school’s modernization,” said WRSD Board Chair Daryl Scott. “We believe this move is the most efficient way to ensure minimal disruptions and provide the highest quality of instruction for our students.”
Both school boards extend their gratitude to the Breton and Warburg school communities for their support and understanding during the construction period. The benefits of this collaboration will ultimately result in a fully modernized school that will serve K-12 students in the Breton community for many years to come.
