Cambridge Bay is the regional centre for the Kitikmeot and has a large Nunavut Arctic College presence. The college attracts student from throughout the region and Nunavut as whole, some of whom bring their children who also attend the high school.
The current building was opened in 2002 after the previous building was destroyed in a fire in 1998.[3]
The school proper includes a community gym for which $70,000 was raised to ensure a full-sized facility was built.[3] The school library also includes the May Hakongak Public Library and Kitikmeot Heritage Society museum and office area.[4]
