In September 2007, a new era of high school education in Halifax was launched.  Citadel High welcomed its first students.  The new high school serves a peninsula-based and culturally diverse student population of approximately 1,400 and has been designed and outfitted to meet the demands of a modern education program.

And it is because of the significant efforts of a group of interested community members that Citadel is a showcase high school, one befitting the province's capital city.

While a theatre is not technically considered a teaching space by official provincial standards, a group of interested citizens were determined Citadel High would have one.  The rich history of music, art, and drama over the past 60 years at both QEH and St. Pat's convinced the province to shell in a theatre with the understanding that funds to outfit the theatre would be raised by the community.  It is important to remember that the Citadel Theatre replaces QEH and St Pat's auditoriums, both of which were used to their capacity over the years.  The new theatre is also a critical resource to the community giving residents access to a modern performance venue for a range of political, cultural and social activities.

A campaign team has worked tirelessly for more than a year raising the necessary funds.  In late September 2007 the Citadel Legacy Campaign was officially launched with the announcement that $1.3 million of the $2.3 million required to outfit the theatre had been secured. The total now stands at $1.77 million.
