The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board (known as English-language Public District School Board No. 5A prior to 1999^[1]) oversees public education in the Kenora District of northwestern Ontario. Its jurisdiction includes a geographic area of 6,565 km² from the Manitoba border to roughly the western tip of Lake Superior.^[2]

The KPDSB was formed in 1998 as a merger of the Kenora, Red Lake and Dryden school boards. The French schools in the county became part of the new Conseil scolaire de district du Grand Nord de l’Ontario.

The six high schools administered by the KPDSB are:

• Beaver Brae Secondary School in Kenora
• Crolancia Public School in Pickle Lake
• Dryden High School in Dryden
