Opening in Fall 2026, the new Northglen Catholic elementary school will welcome nearly 500 students from Kindergarten to Grade 8. This modern, 43,000-square-foot building will include a child care centre, gymnasium, learning commons and outdoor park space — becoming a vibrant hub for faith-filled learning and community connection.

Naming a new school is an important step in building its identity. The name will carry deep meaning for students, families, staff and parish members for generations to come. That’s why we’re inviting you — our Catholic school community — to share your ideas and inspiration.

Submit your suggested school name and tell us why you believe it’s the right choice. Your input will help shape the shortlist that goes forward for final community consultation and, ultimately, trustee approval.

In keeping with Administrative Procedure 210 – Naming of Catholic Schools/Board Facilities, suggested names must meet the following criteria:

• Schools/Board facilities shall be named in honour of the Divinity, or in honour of a person or group that has been officially recognized by the Church through beatification or canonization, or an outstanding Catholic national, or international figure.
• The name of a person to be honoured shall not be considered until after the first anniversary of their death.
• The word “Catholic” shall be an integral part of the school/Board facility name. E.g., St. John Catholic Elementary School
• The word “Elementary” or “Secondary” shall be an integral part of a school name. E.g., St. Stephen Catholic Secondary School
• The duplication of names within the Board should be avoided.
• The duplication of names within coterminous Catholic Boards should be avoided
