Everyone is welcome to join the celebration of construction of the new Essex District High School.

A ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 10 with a reception at 6:00 p.m. and a full program starting at 7:00.

Since 1885 there has been a high school on Talbot Road in Essex. It's taken a variety of forms in its 128 years and by 2016 the new Essex District High School will be completed.

This rebuild began in July with the demolition of the old library and site preparation for the new classroom wing.
