We pride ourselves in offering top notch academic and vocational programs which provide our students with amazing learning experiences with the goal of developing our students’ employability skills.
Our staff is truly amazing. In addition to their regular assignments, staff members volunteer to run clubs, coach teams, and organize activities before school, at lunch time and after school. They constantly go above and beyond the call of duty to assist students and meet all individual needs. Our staff has helped us to create a climate dedicated to learning, living and laughing!

This is a traditional meeting ground and traveling route of Indigenous people including the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Metis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
We are bound together by Treaty 6 and we acknowledge that we are all Treaty people and Treaty 6 signifies the agreement and relationship among Treaty people living together.
