A good time was had by Lucille Joint school announced STRATHROY - Although plans werc shelved for a joint high school between the public and Catholic sc-hool boards in Huron County doesn't mean that other school boards aren't planning similar pro- jects. Last Tuesday, the Middlesex County Board of Education and the London -Middlesex Catholic Board of Education announced plans for a multi -use high school. The joint school would be the first high school for the Catholic board. Right now students in areas such as Lucan, who wish to attend a Catholic high school, are bussed to either Regina Mundi in London or the newly built St. Thomas Aquinas which will be at capacity by this ' fall. The public board sees the venture as a way of replacing the aging Strathroy Collegiate. The new school would be built on property owned by the Middlesex board at the north end of Strathroy. While the two boards are still ' waiting for provincial approval, if everything goes according to plan, , the joint facility should be open to ' an estimated 2,500 students by the year 2009.
