School District 82 Coast Mountains

1

School District 82 Coast Mountains is a school district in northwestern British Columbia between Prince Rupert and Prince George. This includes the major centres of Terrace, Kitimat and extends to the town of Stewart on the BC-Alaska border.

History

In January 1968, School District 51 (Portland Canal) and School District 53 (Terrace) merged to form School District 88 (Skeena–Cassiar). In early 1975, School District 88 (Terrace) became the commonly used name. School District 82 was created in late 1996 by the amalgamation of School District 80 (Kitimat) and School District 88 (Terrace). Until 2000, the school district had also provided schooling to American students from neighbouring Hyder, Alaska.
