Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB, known as English-language Public District School Board No. 21 prior to 1999) is the public school board in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, which was formed January 1, 1997 via the amalgamation of the Hamilton and Wentworth County school boards. HWDSB teaches approximately 50,000 students in its 103 neighbourhood schools. In addition to the programming offered at 88 elementary and 15 secondary schools, a number of alternative programs focusing on sports, academics, science, arts and languages are available. The current Director of Education is Manny Figueiredo.
Glen Brae Middle School was established in 1967; like many other middle schools, it has grades 6-8. Glen Brae has approximately 250 students; Mrs.Constabel is principal. The school also has French and English immersion classes. This school was one of many that participated in the Terry Fox Run in 2005. Also, this school participated in a walk/run to raise money for schools in Kenya in 2005. They have done this to raise money for Kenyan schoolchildren every year since.
The HWDSB has 15 wards and 11 trustees, who are each elected for a four-year term. The Chair of the Board, the Vice-Chair and the Honorary Treasurer are elected at the Inaugural meeting of the Board, and serve for one year. Trustees are officials, elected to serve parents, students, taxpayers and the school system. They are the link between communities and the school board, ensuring Hamilton public schools meet the diverse needs of students in their communities.
