Garibaldi Highlands Elementary Home

Welcome to Garibaldi Highlands Elementary School!

 

Sea to Sky School District has a clear mission: the success of all students. The District has high expectations for excellence across the curriculum—in academics, athletics, fine arts and career programs. There is also a keen awareness that students learn best in a safe, secure and respectful environment supported by strong connections between school and community.

 

At GHE we strive to build a strong sense of belonging and connection between families, students and staff. In late 2019 our school community established a new set of core values. These values guide our way of being every day.

 

The GHE Way: Contribute, Kindness, Inclusive, Mindfulness, Safe, Friendship, Respect, Gratitude, Community, Joy.
 
The School District is unique in the diverse communities it serves. There are three major population centres: Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. The District also serves six Aboriginal communities: Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw, Lil’wat Nation, N’Quatqua Band, Samhquam Ucwalmicw, Skatin Nations, Xa’xtsa and the Metis, Inuit and Off-Reserve Aboriginal Nations.
 
Even though each community has its own unique set of needs and interests, there is a spirit of collaboration at work in the District reflected in our vision statement:
 
“Students love to learn here!”
