Scott Collegiate is a public high school located in the North Central neighbourhood of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is named for Sir Walter Scott, the first premier of Saskatchewan. It is an officially designated community school.
Opened in 1924, Scott Collegiate was the second high school to be built in Regina, after Regina Collegiate Institute (later renamed Central Collegiate Institute after the opening of Scott). Scott had the title of being the oldest surviving high school building in the city. In 2017, Scott Collegiate moved into the Mâmawêyatitân Centre (Mâmawêyatitân is a Cree word meaning "lets all be together"), which has since replaced the original building, that was torn down on the second of August in 2017.[1]
Academically, the school year at Scott is divided into four quarters.
Scott's three main feeder elementary schools are Albert Community School, Kitchener Community School and Seven Stones Community School.
Projects
Many of the classes at Scott Collegiate are run as multidisciplinary projects. These projects combine one or more core curricular subjects with one or more elective classes. Projects are varied, and have included such areas of interest as theatre, cooking, and hip-hop. These projects often lead to community events, such as "Taste of Scott", which is put on by the Cooking project and involves student-run restaurant booths, with guests voting on their favorite dishes.[2]
In 2014, the Grade 10 Construction project, which combined grade 10 English, Math and Construction credits, led to the construction of an "Angel's Corner" - benches to honor those who are victims of violence.[3] A plaque on one of the benches reads, "Angels Corner shines a light on the violence and abuse faced by women in our society. It stands as a reminder of women who have lost their lives to violence, including missing and murdered Aboriginal women, and of the help available to women living with violence and abuse."[4]
Renovations
In March 2009, it was announced that the current Scott Collegiate building would be demolished and replaced with the Mâmawêyatitân Centre (previously referred to as North Central Integrated Facility). Scott will re-open, as part of a schooling system within the facility, in 2017.[5] The Mâmawêyatitân Centre will also house a Regina Public Library branch, a child care facility, a city recreational complex and a community police station.[6]
