Wayt’k – welcome to Salmon Arm Secondary (SAS)!
Salmon Arm Secondary is located on the K’wsaltktnews ne Secepemcul’ecw, the unceded and ancestral territory of the Secwepemc people. Our school community has a rich tradition of supporting excellence in academics and electives, while encouraging and promoting music and fine arts, outdoor pursuits along with sponsoring a wide variety of sports. SAS has over 750 students in grades 10, 11 and 12, serving the communities within the catchment areas of Bastion Elementary, Carlin Elementary, North Shuswap Elementary, Salmon Arm West Elementary, South Broadview Elementary and Sorrento Elementary.
“Empowering students to become confident, curious, and caring individuals who thrive in their learning, relationships, and community” is our School District’s mission and this greatly influences the programs, events and decisions at Salmon Arm Secondary. We focus on providing a positive, welcoming environment that allows students the flexibility to design an educational program that meets their needs and interests. Our wide range of courses and programs do an excellent job of preparing students for stepping into post-secondary education, transferring directly into the workforce, or moving forward on a less traditional path.
Our staff is proud and passionate about the variety of programs and courses we offer students. We have the privilege to help build our students’ resilience and commitment to their education, to their classmates, and to themselves. Every day, our future leaders and change agents attend school, participate in worthy causes, and make a difference, benefitting both our school and our community.
Each school year our hope is for staff and students to pursue passions, to realize the value of working hard, to explore new opportunities, to be open to and accepting of differences, and to demonstrate gratitude. Salmon Arm Secondary is a wonderful school because of our staff, students, and communities.
Thank you and Kukstsélp,
Rob Cadden, Principal
