School history Old picture of Benson Public School through a chainlink fence

 

  • In 2003 J.E. Benson Public School was declared Prohibitive to Repair* by the Ministry of Education and approximately $8.5 million was provided to replace the Wyandotte St. school which had been built in 1915.  Plans were made and a design created for a new J.E. Benson Public School in 2007, but the Ministry ordered a hold on the project due to dramatically declining enrolment in the area. A Program and Accommodation Review Committee (PARC) study was ordered by the Board of Trustees in 2010 for the Benson and Dr. H.D. Taylor school communities. A recommendation was approved in April, 2011 to combine the schools in a new building, West Gate, to be built on the Dr. H.D. Taylor property on Campbell Avenue.
  • Students entered the new school for the first time at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year with a celebration of opening in January of 2015. The celebration was held to show appreciation to all those who had a hand in the creation and realization of this West Windsor jewel.  A packed house of community members, staff, students and parents gathered in the gymnasium to listen as West Gate students of all ages described what the school meant to them and what it meant to be West Gate Wolves, ultimately welcoming the community to their new den. https://publicboard.ca/News/ourstories/Pages/A-howling-good-time.aspx
  • To learn more about the project watch the student documentary, My New School on YouTube. On Tuesday, June 11th students, staff and guests viewed the premiere at Dr. H.D. Taylor and J.E. Benson public schools to celebrate the start of work.
