Construction is expected to begin this fall on a new Gregory A. Hogan School in Sarnia.

The $17-million French Immersion school on Rapids Parkway will feature plenty of natural light, an 88-space daycare, and flexible spaces and furnishings that can be converted to fit teacher and student needs, the St. Clair Catholic District School Board said.

The school is expected to open in 2023.

Meanwhile, the Hogan family of Sarnia has donated $200,000 to support an expanded 900-square-foot community room within the new school.

“Our family has been blessed by the Sarnia-Lambton community over the years,” said Barry Hogan.

“We feel this is a fitting way to give back and to honour the legacy of our father and grandfather, Gregory A. Hogan.”
