Louis Riel Arts & Technology Centre

The Arts & Technology Centre provides career and technical educational programs for high school and post-secondary students.

ATC is an extension of the Louis Riel School Division high schools for grade 11 & 12 students. Students who choose ATC as part of

their high school studies take the majority of their grade 11 & 12 elective courses (through the program of choice) at ATC and their

compulsory courses at their home school. Students typically attend ATC for one semester in grade 11 and return in grade 12 to

complete their program. Talk to your Student Services teacher about other possible patterns.

Students register at their home school, allowing them to participate in school events and extra-curricular activities including sports,

music, and student government. Students graduate with their classmates at their home school. In addition to their regular high

school diploma and an ATC certificate, students in most programs may earn a Technology Education high school diploma.

ATC students who hold evening or summer jobs may be eligible to obtain high school credits towards graduation and time credit

towards continued apprenticeship training by applying for the High School Apprenticeship Option Program.

Students are encouraged to bring and use their own electronic devices. Students are encouraged to participate in intramural

activities available at lunch time through our open gym program as well as the Student Leadership Council (student government).
