This year, the Upper Grand District School Board partnered with Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health to offer a student mental health leadership opportunity to Upper Grand secondary schools. The pilot took place at Guelph CVI and Orangeville DSS and was an opportunity for schools to bring youth together in leadership around mental health in their schools.
As we approach the end of the 2023/2024 school year, we wanted to say congratulations to each UGDSB student for your efforts this school year. We are grateful to have such dedicated students at the Upper Grand. Congratulations and enjoy your summer!
