Transition To Middle School

On December 9, 2009 at a regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Board of Education of School District No. 52 (Prince Rupert) made a number of decisions which will lead to a new district configuration of schools effective September 2011.

“We are very pleased to announce that our district will be implementing a middle school for our grade 6, 7 and 8 students for the fall of 2011”, reports Chair Tina Last. “This middle school will support our adolescent learners during this critical time when they are forming attitudes, values, and habits of minds. The middle school will build a transitional bridge from elementary to high school.”

It has been announced that this middle school will be called Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) and all the older students who currently attention Prince Rupert Secondary School will move to Charles Hays Secondary School in September 2011.
