Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year at Cape Breton Highlands Education Centre/Academy
The staff here at CBHEC/A are eager to jump into the 2025-2026 school year! The building is in great shape, and the teachers have been busy getting their classrooms ready for learning.
We have a diverse population here at CBHEC/A, from students entering pre-primary to students graduating after 13 years as a Huskie. Our goal is to offer a safe and inclusive environment that allows every student to reach their full potential.
We also have a strong and caring staff here at the Highlands, some with over 20 years at the school, some in their first year, and many in between. Preparation, consistency, and caring are three of the many traits our teachers bring to their roles as successful educators.
Parents, guardians, and community members also play an integral role in supporting our school. Please consider joining our School Advisory Council. We encourage your voice on our School Advisory Council to seek innovative ideas and outlooks. Our first meeting will be on Monday, September 22, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. at Cape Breton Highlands Education Centre/Academy, or you can attend virtually if that is more convenient. Please email our SAC chairperson, Kaelia MacGillvray, at [email protected].
Effective communication between school, parents, guardians, and community goes a long way to build relationships. Through school and SRCE alerts (emails and texts), Facebook, X, school website (cbheca.srce.ca) and monthly newsletters, it is our goal to keep everyone informed.
We would like to thank our SRCE Operations Department for their hard work in cleaning and preparing our school for opening day.
