Holy Family Catholic school division rolls out new plans for 2026-27 year
The Grande Prairie-area division is introducing new numeracy and literacy supports while a Fairview school project moves into design.
Holy Family Catholic Regional School Division (HFCRD) has outlined several initiatives for the 2026-27 school year, including new three-year Faith and Education plans aimed at strengthening faith development and improving Grade 9 Provincial Achievement Test and Diploma results.
Superintendent Victoria Cornick said the division's new numeracy framework and expanded literacy supports are intended to give teachers tools to help students build foundational skills from kindergarten through Grade 12.
The province has accelerated the new St. Thomas More School project in Fairview into the design phase, which Cornick called a significant investment in Catholic education for the community. HFCRD is also advocating for a new K-12 facility to replace St. Andrew's School.
Classes at HFCRD's St. Stephen's School in Valleyview resume Monday, Aug. 31, while all other schools in the division start Tuesday, Sept. 1.
