Holy Angels High School
 | This article needs to be updated. (October 2025) |
Holy Angels was an all-girls high school located in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was founded in 1885 by the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame.[1] They bestowed the school with the Latin motto: Angelis Suis Mandavit De Te meaning "He has entrusted you to the care of his angels".[1]
Holy Angels High School was the only publicly funded all-girls school east of Montreal.[2] It encompassed Grades 10 to 12 and serviced students from all over Cape Breton Island and beyond.[1]
On Thursday, October 28, 2010, the Cape Breton – Victoria Regional School Board announced that it will close Holy Angels High School in June 2011, prompting 200 students to picket outside the board's offices.[3] The school board leased the school from the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame, which planned to sell the property in 2011.[3] The school board said the Nova Scotia Department of Education could not afford to purchase the school from the order.[4] The school closed in June 2011.[5]
