Rocky View Schools is set to get some of the province's $251-million investment into 15 priority school projects. 

Cochrane's Bow Valley High School will see a new addition and undergo a modernization, the province announced Friday, March 4. 

"This investment shows our unwavering support for student learning in state-of-the-art schools that will also benefit parents and communities," Education Minister Adriana LaGrange said. 

"We're meeting the need for additional classroom space across the province while creating healthy and safe learning environments for students and teachers." 

Premier Jason Kenney said these new and upgraded schools will not only better the education Alberta's students receive, but it further drives the province's recovery plan and creates new jobs. 

In part of the 2022 Capital Plan, the province is investing $2 billion over three years to support the 15 projects including Cochrane, continue work on projects already announced and maintain existing schools and support charter infrastructure plus collegiate programs. 

Schools in Calgary, Camrose, Edmonton, Milk River, Sherwood Park, Evansburg and Slave Lake are also among the priority projects identified.
