About J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate

Opened in September of 2002, J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate is part of the innovative Ajax Multi-Use School Project which combines the high schools of the Durham DSB (J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate) and the Durham Catholic DSB (Notre Dame CSS) along with a shared cafeteria, theatre and main sports field into one large campus. Richardson Collegiate occupies the southern portion of the site while Notre Dame occupies the northern portion. The schools are separated on the inside by the shared cafeteria and theatre. The complex accommodates approximately 3,000 students plus 250 staff in total, yet the schools operate in isolation from each other so the feeling is that of a regular, large high school. The shared facilities includes a 500 seat theatre, a food court that can seat 1,000 persons and the irrigated outdoor sports field. The Richardson culinary arts program operates out of a state of the art kitchen and provides the food for both student populations before school and at lunch.

J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate is located in Northeast Ajax

Northeast Ajax is comprised of several smaller communities. The residential area of Audley North is a fast-growing, culturally diverse community made up mainly of families. The majority of homes are detached, and built in the early 2000s. Deer Creek has a residential area located on Buggey Lane and Bunhill Court, and there are some homes and businesses in other parts of the area, but the region is largely green space. The Salem Heights neighbourhood is in north central Ajax, in an area defined to the west and south by the Canadian Pacific Railway line. The area comprises newer residential developments, with commercial areas in the north, along Taunton Rd. To the east, Carruthers Creek forms the boundary between Salem Heights and Audley North.
