Ms. Diane Smillie – Principal
Welcome to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary School website!
We invite you to explore our wonderful school with a variety of programs. We have much to offer and are always delighted to welcome our families to our educational community.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary is a public high school in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø, British Columbia and part of School District 35. A unique aspect of LSS is that we are the only secondary school serving both Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø City and the Township of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø. It is the oldest secondary school in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø School District, having been opened in 1949 and was recently renovated. We look forward to an expansion in the near future to meet our growing community. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary offers programs for students in Grade 9 to 12 and has over 1200 students. In addition to regular provincially prescribed curriculum leading to graduation, the school has academic programs including AVID, a Fine Arts Program, Sports Academies, an Alternate Education Program (FOCUS), and BCIT’s Piping and Plumbing Program which provides post-secondary credit to high school students.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary School is the home of the Thunderbirds with an extensive athletic offering of fall, winter and spring sports. Our students have use of the Township fields, a stadium, a track and a lacrosse box.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary is committed to enrolling a diverse family who share daily life in a healthy, integrated, multi-racial, multi-cultural, and socio – economically mixed experience. Interpersonal and close relationships among and between students and faculty are fostered to create a caring and supportive experience.
Our hope is that all students recognize their strengths, find a place of belonging and be the best they can be. To all the students: “May all that be possible, be possible for you.”
Thank you for visiting us,
Diane Smillie, Principal of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Secondary School
