School District No. 48 (Sea to Sky) is a school district in British Columbia, Canada. Spanning from as far south as Furry Creek all the way North to D’Arcy, the school district is unique in the diverse communities it serves. There are three major population centres: Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. The District also serves six Aboriginal communities: Skwxwú7mesh Uxwumixw, Lil’wat Nation, N’Quatqua Band, Samhquam Ucwalmicw, Skatin Nations, Xa’xtsa and the Metis, Inuit and Off-Reserve Aboriginal Nations.
Even though each community within School District No. 48 (Sea to Sky) has its own unique set of needs and interests, there is a spirit of collaboration that exists within the District. This collaborative spirit is reflected in their vision statement: “Students Run to Learn Here!”
Sea to Sky School District has a clear mission: the success of all students. The District has high expectations for excellence across the curriculum—in academics, athletics, fine arts and career programs. There is also a keen awareness that students learn best in a safe, secure and respectful environment supported by strong connections between school and community.
