The Upper Grand District School Board’s new high school in South Guelph is set to open its doors next school year, and we are asking for community input on the new school’s name!
The new school will open in the 2026-27 school year and is located at Arkell Road and Victoria Road South in Guelph. This is a monumental occasion, as it is the first new secondary school in the board has opened in Guelph in nearly 60 years.
From October 11-24, 2025, students, staff, families and community members can submit proposed names through an anonymous online survey. Here you will be able to submit proposed names and rate other names submitted. Multiple names can be submitted.
Following that survey, the board will host a virtual town hall where community members can rank a shortlist of proposed names.
Throughout the school naming process, the board will be following UGDSB Policy 303. The decision on the final approved name will be made by the Board of Trustees.
We are excited to hear from the community as we work toward opening the new high school!
