On behalf of HWDSB’s Board of Trustees and Executive Council, we are thrilled to celebrate the launch of HWDSB’s new Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) for 2023 to 2028!

As part of this launch, we are also excited to share our new tagline for the duration of this plan: Be You. Be Excellent. These efforts have been supported with a new series of images featuring HWDSB students as their authentic selves.
