Princess Margaret Secondary School (also known as PMSS or "Maggie") is a public secondary school in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. It is operated by School District 67 Okanagan Skaha. It is one of two secondary schools in Penticton and one of three in the school district. The school is fed from four elementary schools and one middle school. The school includes a significant number of students from the local First Nations Penticton Indian Band and is located within the traditional Okanagan Nation territory.[1] PMSS is named for Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowden, sister of Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada.
During 2005-2011 an average of 91% of first time Grade 12 students graduated.[2]
The following programs are offered through the school's PE department:
The school officially opened in September 1958 with 200 students enrolled in Grades 2‐9. The next year, Grades 1 and 10 were added. Due to a growing population at the south end of the city, an elementary school, Snowdon Elementary, was built on the grounds in the early 1960s, and students from Grades 7 - 10 attended PMS. In 2002 the school was converted to a grade 9-12 secondary school and underwent a $9.4 million renovation that also expanded its capacity from 475 to 650.[3] [4] [5]
