Welcome Grade 8’s!

This has certainly been a strange year for all of us, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the Ross Royal Spirit! Through thick and thin, staff and students at Ross continue to show their compassion, caring, and great spirit! Our hope, as it is for all Royals, is that you will carry on and enhance these qualities by becoming aware, active, and involved in life at Ross.

This webpage is designed to help you get a feeling for what Ross is all about and includes information on academic programming, academic departments, and school life. We know that with support from your grade 8 teachers, your parents/guardians, and Ross staff, your transition to grade 9 will be a smooth one! We’d like to welcome you all to our Ross family this coming fall and hope that this information will give you a better understanding about high school and life at Ross.
