Mission – School District #75

Mission Public School District is located on the Traditional, Ancestral, Unsurrendered, and Shared territories of Stó:lō people, of Leq’á:mel, Semá:th, Máthxwi, Sq’éwlets and Qwó:ltl’el First Nations, stewards of this land since time immemorial. Halq’eméylem is the language of this land and of Stó:lō ancestors. The place from where Halq’eméylem (Upriver dialect) originates is Leq’á:mel. The language comes from the land, and it has been this way since time immemorial.

Le Conseil scolaire de Mission est situé sur les terres traditionnelles, ancestrales, non cédées et partagées du peuple Stó:lō, des Premières nations, Leq’á:mel, Sema:th, Matheqwí, Sq’éwlets et Qwó:ltl’el, peuples de cette terre depuis des temps immémoriaux.

Mission, British Columbia is nestled on a southern coastal mountain slope, overlooking the lush valley of the mighty Fraser River. Ideally situated, Mission is located an hour east of Vancouver and just a 15-minute drive from the U.S. border.

Mission was originally inhabited by the Sto:lo First Nations people, and today this rapidly growing and dynamic centre is home to a population of some 38,000 residents.

Come see why Mission is “the Jewel in the Valley”. Mission Public Schools is dedicated to providing our students with an educational environment that nurtures the development of an Educated Citizen.

Our community is on the unceded ancestral territory of the Stó:lo people. We serve a diverse population of students from K to 12, benefiting from local knowledge keepers and thriving Indigenous communities. Our reputation for safe and caring schools welcomes students and parents into an educational partnership focused on student achievement.
