I would like to welcome you personally to the Nakusp Secondary School’s Website.

As this website is developed, we hope it becomes a useful tool in increasing communication between the Nakusp Secondary School staff, our students and their parents.

We look forward to hearing feedback from you about our progress.

Our motto “Prove it Possible!” has stood the test of time. We continue to show parents and our communities that Nakusp Secondary School is a good school; in academics, in sports, in the applied and fine arts, and in social development.

Thank you for visiting our website! GO COUGARS!!
