FRENCH SCHOOL

[Welland Tribune, 29 March 1984]

An important milestone in Welland’s education history was reached in the mid-1920s with the start of bilingual education in the city. In 1926, there were 150 French speaking pupils attending classes at a private school connected with Sacred Heart Church. The school board, after receiving approval from the education ministry, initiated classes in French and in 1932, classes were offered in a building which became known as Coronation School.
