The GECDSB finally backed down and Western Secondary is staying open. We beat them at their own game and kept our school doors unlocked despite their pathetic attempts to shut us out. Keep your eyes open because we know they will try to pull this stunt again if we stop …

We will be presenting this petition to the GECDSB members at the Western PARC meeting April 13th, as the final decision will be made September of 2015. Although we will be keeping the petition open for signatures well after! :)
Now we ask you for your help, by signing this petition you are demonstrating just how important this school is to our community and to all of our students.
Thank You!

The GECDSB board members cannot ignore this groundswell of opposition anymore. We have officially forced their hand and they know exactly how many people are ready to fight to keep Western Secondary open.

I have seen so many youth stuggle through elementary school to go on to western and make so much of themselves. closing this school, with so many success stories coming from there would be a real travesty! KEEP WESTERN OPEN>>>>
I'm a grade 11 at western and its helped me and alot of people and you should think about what you're doing before you close it . the drop out rates are gonna skyrocket the bullyings gonna get worse the grades are gonna drop so please keep it opened for us for the kids the go there ...
I was transfered from Amherst to Western because my grades were too low. I woildn't have graduated highschool if it wasn't fot Western. You guys are making a huge mistake
Close an entire school? Imagine how crammed all the other schools will get taking in refugee students. It's insane
if it wasn't for Weatern our son would struggle and become bored with school. Weatern allows Our Son the hands on learning he needs to understand & get further in his life choices. Do Not close this school as it is a perfect and Great learning enviro for our Son & many others just like him! No other school allows these students this kind of opportunity. Thank You!
Save western!!!
This is a school that should NOT be CLOSED for any reason. There is no other school in the county or in the city that will offer students a chance for a great future. These are world smart kids, who need that extra push to succeed!! My son is in his second year of Western. He loves the courses that are offered and the choices that are there to help him decide his future. Where other highschools may not have the programs these students NEED. You are making a "BIG MISTAKE" !! For you GECDSB members must not have a child who attends this school. Because you would TOTALLY UNDERSTAND as a parent what your child needs for their future. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
