Our History and Tradition
Prince of Peace Catholic School officially opened and received the Bishop's blessing on December 6, 1988. Before the school was completed, students attended classes in eleven portables located at St. René Goupil Catholic School.
In March 1988, founding principal Edward Jacko led the school's first 360 students from their temporary location to the newly constructed building beside Prince of Peace Parish, from which the school takes its name.
The school features a distinctive two-storey central atrium that serves as a gathering and performance space, reflecting its commitment to community and learning.
Today, Prince of Peace continues to serve a diverse and multicultural community, inspiring students to follow the example of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, through faith, learning, and service to others.
