With the strong foundation that our elementary schools are providing and the diligence of our secondary schools, we are making a difference. This success is shared with all our employees across the board, who are committed to student success. I would like to congratulate our students and personally thank our personnel” expressed Chantal C. Beaulieu, Director General of the Eastern Townships School Board.

MAGOG, January 11, 2012 – The fruits of a partnership between the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) and Champlain Regional College (CRC) will give students who wish to study in English from the Cowansville area the opportunity to attend CÉGEP closer to home, more specifically those whose personal circumstances prevent them from relocating. The ETSB’s Council of Commissioners was unanimous in its support to move ahead quickly with the proposed collaboration between the ETSB and Champlain Regional College (Lennoxville Campus).
