History

Construction of École Salish Secondary began in late 2016 and was completed in 2018.[1] École Salish Secondary opened in September 2018 and was named after the local Salish peoples who were indigenous to the area.[2][3] Its first students were mostly former students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary. Its first principal was Sheila Hammond, the former principal of Johnston Heights Secondary School.[4] As of June 2019, it was the Surrey School District's least-crowded secondary school.[5] It currently has around 1000 students. [6]

Programs
