School History
St. Jane Frances Catholic School opened in October 1964 with 169 students and a staff of seven, led by Principal John Raniowski. A school addition was completed in 1967 to support growing enrolment.
Expansion and Renovation
In 2000, following the planned closure of St. Camillo Catholic School, plans began for the construction of St. Jane Frances Catholic School. A building committee worked with architects to develop the design, which was presented to the community in 2002.
Construction began in 2003, including the demolition of the north wing, the construction of a new three-storey wing, and renovations to the south wing. During this period, classes were temporarily relocated to portables, the south wing, and the church basement to accommodate construction needs.
By September 2004, students and staff had moved into the new wing, with additional classrooms in the renovated south wing becoming available in January 2005. The completed facility provided a modern learning environment to support the growing St. Jane Frances community.
Our Patron Saint
The school is named after St. Jane Frances de Chantal (1572–1641), whose feast day is celebrated on August 18.
