Welcome to Huron Heights–Home of the Huskies!

Starting high school is a very exciting time and we are looking forward to welcoming our future grade 9s to Huron Heights. Our goal is to ease the transition for grade 8s and their families into high school and to make your high school experience positive.

Guidance counsellors are here to help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of high school courses, Ontario diploma requirements and your future goals and aspirations. Please take a look at this slide show which explores and answers many of those first questions: Grade 8 Information

After viewing the slide show, please take some time to review our Grade 9 Supplement 2024-2025. If you would like information about grade 10, 11 & 12 courses please view our full Course Calendar Booklet 20232024.

Grade 8’s that are registering from outside of our school board, must follow the registration process as outlined on our Guidance/Registration tab. The online registration system is only available to students that have NEVER attended the Waterloo Region District School Board.
