On Sept. 26, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved the consolidation of three North Bay secondary schools (Chippewa, West Ferris and Widdifield) into two schools at the West Ferris (South) and Chippewa (North) sites.
The consolidation of the three North Bay secondary schools was completed at the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
Since the consolidation, student learning opportunities have been enhanced at both Chippewa and West Ferris secondary schools. A larger school population along with bringing together additional resources and skilled staff has allowed for an increased offer of specialized programming and rejuvenation of existing programs.
