The new Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School will be located at 1001 Greenhill Avenue in Oshawa.
This project is supported by a total investment of $71,065,075 which includes additional funding of $35.8 million. When complete, the project will deliver 1,061 new secondary student spaces for local families, said a statement.
