New Replacement School Name Announced

Ken Marshman, EIPS Project Manager

Elk Island Public Schools was pleased to announce the name of the new replacement school in the Sherwood Heights area of Sherwood Park: Forest Grove School. The Board of Trustees approved the name at a public Board meeting on Dec. 19, 2024.

In fall 2024, the Division gathered input from students, families, staff and community members on what the name of the replacement school should be.

Ken Marshman, a project manager at EIPS, also provided several construction updates for the community, including what the two gymnasiums look like so far, the first bricks that've been laid, structural steelwork and next steps.

October Construction Highlights

Construction continued for the Sherwood Park Replacement School. Several highlights from October include:

• Application of waterproof membranes to the elevator pit
• Installation of damp proofing and weeping tiles
• Installation of precast walls, metal deck and joists for both the small and large gymnasiums
• Ongoing formwork and masonry work
