Future
In October 2016 the Ministry of Education awarded a $24.3 million grant for the construction of a new Amherstburg High School, which consolidated the General Amherst High School and Western SS communities. The site of the new school is located at the south end of Centennial Park off Simcoe Street between Fryer Street and Victoria Street South which was sold to the school board from the Town of Amherstburg in January 2018. Construction began in October 2020 and was completed in September 2022. The name of the new school is North Star High School. However, they have been at a different location. Their old location, listed on this article, is to be taken over by Windsor Islamic High School in the 2025 semester.
