Sardis Secondary, abbreviated as SSS, is a public high school in Chilliwack, British Columbia part of School District 33 Chilliwack. The current principal is Lynnet Schramm.
Sardis Secondary has a focus on agricultural and skilled trades education. The school is also somewhat distinctive in having an active high school football team.[1] [2]
In 2013, 12 students were suspended for a semester for using marijuana and breaking curfew on a school trip. The punishment was appealed by some parents and received a small amount of national news coverage.[3]
In 2015, the sustainable agriculture program was expanded with the purchase of the SSS Farm. Students are able to grow food for a community-supported agriculture program. Participation in the program is worth four course credits, the same amount as a standard class. The program was developed with support from the University of the Fraser Valley, a university local to Chilliwack and Abbotsford.
With the end of the 2023 school year, the 20+ year old Computer Science program was shut down due to the lack of any available Computer Science teachers in British Columbia.
In 2022, the Drumline placed third[4] in the BC Provincial Championships, hosted by the Canadian Drumline Association, losing only to MEI and Collingwood.
