St. Joseph’s reborn at Morrow Park January 14, 2021
Years of construction are finally complete and St. Joseph’s Morrow Park Catholic Secondary School just awaits the lifting of pandemic restrictions to welcome students to their new home.
With furniture moved in, faculty and students are eager to begin classes at the newly-completed school once COVID-19 remote learning mandates are lifted in southern Ontario. Students are scheduled to return to class Jan. 25, but there are concerns that the suspension of in-person learning could extend beyond that date.
“It’s such a beautiful building,” said Patricia Coburn, principal at the all-girls school since 2014. “It’s been such a long haul. Our students and parents have been so amazing and accommodating. They’re coming (to the new school) and I can’t wait for them to see it. With COVID-19 it’s going to be delayed unfortunately, but it’s not going to take away the complete excitement of students and teachers.
