History
Construction of École Salish Secondary began in late 2016 and was completed in 2018,[2] with École Salish Secondary opening in September 2018. It was named after the local Coast Salish peoples who are indigenous to the area.[3][4]
The first students who came to the school were mostly former students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary. The first principal, Sheila Hammond, was also the former principal of Johnston Heights Secondary School.[5] As of June 2019, it was the Surrey School District's least-crowded secondary school,[6] and currently has around 2000 students.[7]
