History

The school district in what today is the western suburbs of Victoria predates the formation of the Canadian province of British Columbia in mid 1871. The Metchosin School District was formed April 8, 1871. The Sooke School District was formed 23 May 1872 as one of the first school districts of the new province.[1] The Highlands School District was formed in 1893 and incorporated into the SSD in 1952.[2]

gollark: Also, I get to dazzle people with my tab count.
gollark: Unused tabs don't occupy much RAM, and I enabled the setting to keep tabs when I open and close it, so it works nicely.
gollark: Well, because I inconsistently jump around between various things, and use tabs as markers of "look at this at some point".
gollark: Big difference.
gollark: I don't have *100*, I have *310ish*.
