Peace River South: School District 59

About

“To enable each individual to realize his or her full personal potential.”

We believe that by knowing each student’s learning needs, we can support their success in our classrooms. We are dedicated to creating diverse pathways for our students so that they will have options for meaningful learning.

Regional Diversity

Our district, located in the Rocky Mountain foothills, was first settled by Aboriginal people who saw the potential that was here. Aboriginals represent about 25% of our population, and two Hutterite colonies within the district also add richness to our cultural base. The array of outdoor summer and winter sports is beyond compare.

Specialty Programs

Our district’s outdoor education facility – which includes a world-class climbing wall – is the envy of the north. A distance education school, the Rolla “Traditional” School and Parkhill “Community” School all add to the rich opportunities available for working and living. Our staff enjoy excellent personal and professional development support from the district.

Community Culture

Each community offers many possibilities to explore diverse interests. You may discover dinosaur fossils in Tumbler Ridge or learn chainsaw carving in Chetwynd. A vibrant performing arts scene exists in both the wider Dawson Creek community and in the high school, which is home to song writing, painting, genealogy and poetry clubs.

Draw for Employees

This is a superior place to build your career and life. From this rural area, you can reach large metropolitan centers within a half-day drive. Recreational opportunities are excellent – from the community multiplex and the many sports clubs to the incredible wilderness landscapes, streams and lakes.
