Last night, Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board (SMCDSB) trustees approved a three-year plan to balance their budget.

SMCDSB is proud to announce that Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School graduate, Sophia Sangiuliano, has been named a 2025 Schulich Leader, receiving a $120,000 scholarship to support her studies at Queen’s University.

From healing newborns to building thriving businesses, from protecting our coastlines to mentoring future professionals, this year’s recipients of the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board’s Outstanding Graduates program are making a difference around the world — and right here at home.

Habemus Papam! We have a Pope! It is with great joy and hope that the SMCDSB shares the news that a brand new pope has been elected: Pope Leo XIV, the successor to our beloved Saint Peter!

Get out your planners! The Ministry of Education has approved the elementary and secondary calendars for the 2025-2026 school year.

It’s time to register for Kindergarten! Children who are four years old by the end of December 2025, are eligible to register for the 2025-2026 Kindergarten school year.

The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board (SMCDSB) is happy to announce two new additions coming to Monsignor J.E. Ronan Catholic School in Beeton and Notre Dame Catholic School in Orillia.

Many of our Simcoe Muskoka Catholic communities are growing quickly, creating the need for more space to welcome new families.

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring our schools are safe places for our students, we have developed an online bullying reporting tool.
