Bluewater Secondary
A School With A Difference
Bluewater was established as a full secondary school under the
Huron Board's jurisdiction in 1985. The school provides a more
normal approach to traditional secondary education than in other
correctional units. Students attend regular classes with Huron County
Secondary teachers, and, as the school is linked administratively with
Goderich District Collegiate, there is also a rotation of teachers from
there to Bluewater. Some students have successfully completed their
Grade 12 in our system. The school also has a special in -school work
experience program and is developing ties with the community to
enable students to participate in gainful employment.
