School Overview
It is the purpose of our school district to improve the life chances of every student by delivering the richest, most appropriate and supportive learning environment possible. The successful future of our community and global society requires a literate and critical-thinking population.
Our communities offer a wide range of cultural and recreational opportunities. Houston has a very active snowmobile association and recently opened a swimming pool and recreation center.
Smithers hosts many music and arts festivals throughout the year, and the “Ski and Ride Smithers” alpine ski area is just 20 minutes from downtown.
Draw for Employees
Our core values of honesty, fairness, respect, responsibility and compassion contribute to our collegial and supportive professional environment. We value consultation with stakeholders, transparency of practice and forming positive relationships.
