[edit] History
The current school district can trace its heritage to the Colony of Vancouver Island. Two school districts were established in the area prior to the colony joining mainland British Columbia.
South Cowichan School District was established on June 16, 1869. North Cowichan School District was established a year later on June 16, 1870.
The current School District 79 was formed in 1996 when School District 65 (Cowichan) was combined with School District 66 (Lake Cowichan).
