Our School

Mahogany School is the name of the new elementary school in the community of Mahogany. It is the first CBE school being built in the community and shares the community name. 

The Future-focused, collaborative, and technology-embedded learning community of Mahogany will be home to approximately 450 K-4 students in the fall of 2022, will expand to grade 5 and predicted to reach full capacity by 2024. Mahogany will be the designated school for the Mahogany community. Mahogany School will be a highly collaborative place of learning, grounded in excellent early literacy, numeracy, and technology-embedded teaching practices. Personalization of learning for all students in this inclusive environment will be supported by be supported by collaboratively developed intervention strategies.

Mahogany School will be dedicated to building a trusting, supportive community of students, staff and parents where learning is primary and positive relationships are fundamental to the work. Infused use of digital technologies to support teaching and learning from Kindergarten forward will be essential as we include strategies for design thinking, maker spaces, coding, and the use of communication tools, to support communication within and across the broader school community.

​​Our School's Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation

We are committed to acknowledging and supporting the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action specific to education. Our school, along with all CBE schools, made a TRC Commitment to Action. On June 21, we renewed our commitment, which can be found under Resources.​​

Acknowledging the Land

We would like to acknowledg​​e the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.​

​​​School Development Plan

​Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.​​​

​​​​​School Improvement Results Report

Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school. You can look on the CBE website for system-wide results​.
