Dear MLA insert MLA/Minister Name,

Re: New Okotoks High School

I am writing in support of Foothills School Division’s (FSD) need for a new High School in Okotoks. The current community high school, École Foothills Composite High School, has exceeded capacity for several years and is now over 125% capacity. With recent changes to the Town of Okotoks’ infrastructure, the announcement of a partially Government of Alberta funded water pipeline, the community’s population is slated to significantly increase, adding additional pressure to an already extremely full school.

The Town of Okotoks is anticipating growth in the 5% to 15% per year with current developments and new pipeline approval. We are already seeing this growth in a number of the schools that feed into the current High School. Couple that with the recognition that high schools take time to plan and construct, all strongly supports the need and advocacy for the funding approval to happen as quickly as possible.

Thank you for the opportunity to advocate for a much-needed school that would benefit students, staff, and community.

Respectfully,
