Maverick School is set to welcome students through its doors to start the school year on September 1st.

This year, Maverick will have a new location.

The School has crossed the tracks and the new location is now on 6th Avenue SE.

Jayne Nicholson, Principal of Maverick School, says the staff is excited for the students to arrive.

"We're just super excited to welcome the students to their new home. Seeing their faces on opening day is going to be amazing.

We have a scavenger hunt planned for them to help orientate them to their new surroundings," she said.

The principal also explains the benefit of a change of scenery.

"You really don't realize the difference a change of atmosphere makes until you're in the building. It's really rejuvenating as a staff to be here now.

Our school needed to be unique and different. Rather than having us fitting a school, the school is fitting us. That's the biggest difference of all," she said.

Although kids will have been in school for over 3 weeks, the official Grand Opening is scheduled for September 26th.
