Encompassing 188,034 square kilometres, Stikine School District is, geographically, the largest in the province. With isolated communities separated by large distances, and a boreal climate, we are challenged to provide the best educational opportunities for our students. Stikine employees are dedicated to creating the best environment possible for education. Our schools have strong, positive, cooperative relationships with parents and their communities and we believe that a positive environment will continue to make a difference. We encourage parents to get involved in their children's education and school. After all, the best gift we can give our children is an education.

Tahltan School gets New Books and New Looks |
|
A School District 87 initiative resulted in new looks and new books for Tahltan School’s Library. Starting in February, School and District Staff, supported by Dease Lake School Librarian, Coleen Howitt, reviewed all books and weeded out the old to make room for the new. The Library now has an electronic tracking system for withdrawals, new shelving, a more spacious floor plan and many new and modern books to support the school’s effort to improve student reading performance. Seen here are Darcie Frocklage, Secretary for the Director of Instruction, and Tahltan School Secretary, Venessa Hydamacka, processing the books for the new Library computer software. To date over 3,600 books have been processed with another 1,000 or so to go. Students are
already using the Library and it is hoped this project is completed by June. A similar process has been undertaken by Atlin School Staff as the District has targetted Library improvement recently.
