History
Curriculum
In 2015, the sustainable agriculture program was expanded with the purchase of the SSS Farm. Students are able to grow food for a community-supported agriculture program. Participation in the program is worth four course credits, the same amount as a standard class. The program was developed with support from the University of the Fraser Valley, a university local to Chilliwack and Abbotsford.
With the end of the 2023 school year, the 20+ year old Computer Science program was shut down due to the lack of any available Computer Science teachers in British Columbia.
Awards and Accomplishments
In 2022, the Drumline placed third[4] in the BC Provincial Championships, hosted by the Canadian Drumline Association, losing only to MEI and Collingwood.
