This week at NSS:

We have a very busy week here at NSS! Tuesday is the 2nd School Snow Fun Day to Whitewater Ski Hill. If you have not yet sent the money, please do so today. The bus leaves at 7:10, therefore students must be here well before that to drop gear into the trucks. Students will be returning to school between 5:00-5:30 so students will require their own transportation to and from school.

The Ski & Snowboard team heads to Fernie on Tuesday for Zones on Wednesday. Best of luck to them as we hope to qualify for Provincials in Quesnel on Feb. 23-26.

The Jr. Boys & Girls Basketball teams head to Grand Forks on Friday for their first tournaments of the year. We wish you all good luck.

Respect Matters

Nakusp Secondary School opened in 1957 and is one of six schools in School District 10, Arrow Lakes.  It has a current school population of 149 students and 25 staff members. Students come into Grade 8 from the elementary schools in Nakusp, Burton  & Edgewood.

NSS is very much at the heart of Nakusp’s community with generations in the village having passed through the hallways of the school. This means that the community is very generous in the time it gives to the school whether through coaching school teams, mentoring students in work placements, volunteering time in class, sharing expertise or attending monthly PAC meetings.
