The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB), formerly known as English-language Public District School Board No. 21 prior to 1999,[3] is the public school board for the city of Hamilton. Established on January 1, 1998,[4] via the amalgamation of the Hamilton and Wentworth County school boards, the board currently operates 93 elementary and secondary schools.

The board has approximately 50,000 students in its 93 neighbourhood schools.[5] In addition to the programming offered at 80 elementary and 13 secondary schools, a number of alternative programs focusing on sports, academics, science, arts and languages are available.[6] The current director of education is Sheryl Robinson Petrazzini.[7][8]

Elementary schools

[edit]

Former schools

[edit]

Hamilton Central Collegiate Institute was a high school until 1985 and traced its history to Gore District Grammar School (1821) and Central School.[9] Gore District and Central School merged in 1838, renamed as Hamilton High School in 1871, Hamilton Collegiate in 1897, and Hamilton Central Collegiate in 1923.[10] HCI moved in to Central High School of Commerce (established 1897) in 1950 and closed with the building reused as a Sanford Avenue Elementary School from 1985 to 2011.[11]

Queens Rangers Elementary School closed in 2019, after 60 years of service.

Parkside High School in Dundas, Ontario, closed in June 2014 at the end of the 2013/2014 school year. The building was subsequently demolished in 2017. There is a cemetery there now.

Trustees

[edit]

The HWDSB consists of 11 trustees elected from wards across the City of Hamilton. These wards either match or are the combination of multiple municipal wards for council elections. Trustees are elected for a four-year term during each municipal election.

The Chair of the Board, the Vice-Chair and the Honorary Treasurer are elected at the Inaugural meeting of the Board, and serve for one year. Trustees are elected to serve parents, students, taxpayers and the school system, serving as the link between communities and the school board. They work to ensure Hamilton's public schools meet the diverse needs of students in their communities.[12]

Elected trustees are joined by student trustees who are selected yearly from among Grade 7-12 students to represent the interests of students during deliberations and decision making of the board.
