"We are proud to unveil our new school to our students, families, and the City of Grande Prairie. It has been a long time coming, and I am excited about this historic event for our students and the greater school community," says Dennis Vobeyda, Principal, Grande Prairie Composite High School.
The school offers spacious shops for senior trades, a theatre, state-of-the-art technology with touch screen interactive displays in each classroom, an oversized gymnasium, and many features that enhance student accessibility, such as Braille on classroom signage, which adds to the inclusive feel of the school.
Overall, there is an abundance of natural lighting, and the school is equipped with solar panels to generate partial energy for energy needs. The addition of the panels has given the school a Leed Silver certification.
The school's location and building are changing, but our commitment to student excellence and success remains. "We will continue to offer our Athletic Academy programming, and we proudly remain the only High School north of Edmonton to provide the International Baccalaureate Programme," explains Mr. Vobeyda.
