Believe... Belong... Become...
Christ the Teacher Catholic Schools is a Catholic School Division serving the communities of Melville, Theodore, and Yorkton in East Central Saskatchewan. We serve the educational needs of approximately 1750 students from prekindergarten to grade twelve. French Immersion programming is offered in both Yorkton and Melville. In Yorkton, our high school programming is provided at Sacred Heart High School and Dreambuilders High School, and in Melville our high school students are educated at the Melville Comprehensive High School through a partnership agreement with the Good Spirit School Division. We invite you to explore the website of our division and of each of our schools. Doing so, we believe, will help you to understand how we are working to fulfill our mission of engaging and challenging all learners, modelling and forming character, and knowing Christ and making Him known in our Christ-centred learning environments. If you have any questions about any of our schools, please contact us directly and we would be happy to provide the information you are looking for. Barbara MacKesey Director of Education
