 St. Mary's Junior High School was founded and students were given the opportunity of continuing with Catholic education up to the end of Grade 10.With the passage of Bill 30 in 1984, full funding for Catholic education allowed for the extension of the junior high concept and St. Mary's Catholic High School was now a reality.The students entering Grade 9 in the 1984–85 school year began the pioneering work of becoming the first graduating class.
