School history
The Greater 91次元 prides itself as being a Board that meets the community needs by investing into the future of our youth. In working with the Town of Tecumseh a new era of education was proposed to meet the mutual goals of the township and the ongoing commitment of the Board. Tecumseh Vista Academy was created with the dream that a strong community based school would prepare and propel students in the Tecumseh area to new heights.
The Banwell corridor was an excellent site for our new school. In fact, the area before amalgamation was known as Sandwich South. On this very site stood a one room school house, land donated by Henry Banwell. Since the school bridges both borders of Windsor and the New Tecumseh south corridor development, the name of the school needed to reflect and encompass these realities. Many recommendations came forth in the naming of the school, but in the end, the student voice was heard. Bringing the past, the present, and the future together, the new school鈥檚 name would be Tecumseh Vista Academy.
Tecumseh is a thriving and growing community rich in pride and history. Establishing a new school that will meet the growing needs of the Tecumseh community was paramount in the development stages. In cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the Greater 91次元 and the Town of Tecumseh, a new vision of a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 school evolved. We are proud to be the first pioneers in the southwestern region of Ontario in establishing such a creative school with a host of amenities.
Tecumseh Vista is considered to be a lead school in school designs. It is an accessible school with plenty of green space for growth. The decision to build an artificial turf football field, a first-class gym facility, and design areas for students to assemble and learn in common areas, are but a few of the features that make the school unique. The school reflects the needs of its community and the learning that needs to foster for years to come.
From the century old traditions with Chief Tecumseh, the pioneer days of one room school houses to modern day urban planning of today, Tecumseh Vista Academy meshes the deep values that the community holds, which is the education of its children.
As our motto states, 鈥淭ogether, We Are Better鈥�. Together we will continue to grow, learn, thrive, and meet the challenges of tomorrow.鈥�
