May. That is part of the process that began at a productive meeting on February 22 between our six high school principals and members of the Senior Administration team. Working with their school communities, the principals will define the criteria and components for a Centre of Excellence and identify six in a report to be submitted to the Expanding Opportunities Implementation Task Force by April.
