St. Elizabeth CHS was founded in September, 1987. The school continued to grow, peaking at approximately 2,000 students. St. Elizabeth also was recognized as an ESL Centre. In September 2003, St. Elizabeth launched the Regional Arts Program. A dance studio was added to our facility. Students from across the region auditioned for spots in one of five areas: Dance, Drama, Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, or Visual Arts. The popularity of this program has continued to grow. The York Catholic District School Board Centre for the Arts was opened in February, 2006. This state of the art theatre has enhanced our school productions and has allowed our students to gain valuable technical expertise. St. Elizabeth has also been given a high skills major designation in the area of arts and culture. The students continued to excel in biotechnology, arts and in sports. Their commitment to helping the less fortunate is clearly evident in the fundraising efforts they have embraced.
