Gitxsan Students Earn Certificates Home | Vancouver News

A groundbreaking new high school has opened in northwestern B.C., bringing education back to Gitxsan communities for the first time in generations. Gitksen West Secondary serves students from Gitwangak, Gitanyow, and Gitsegukla, eliminating a 60-kilometer commute and embedding Gitxsan culture, language, and self-determination at the heart of learning. After over a decade of planning, this locally governed school—designed for 170 students—symbolizes healing, resilience, and academic excellence rooted in Indigenous knowledge. With its modern facilities and community-driven leadership, it’s not just a school—it’s a powerful step toward empowering young people to thrive on their own terms.
