Sturgeon Composite High School, and all the communities in Sturgeon County, acknowledge that we live, learn, work and play in Treaty 6 territory and homeland of the Métis Nation. This land has been home to the Cree, the Métis, the Dene, Nakota Sioux, and Blackfoot since time immemorial. And we commit today to the project of joining in the stewardship, protection, and flourishing of this land together into the future.
Indigenous Education & Student Success
Student Supports
- apîw kamîk Indigenous Student Centre
- The apîw kamîk ("a-pew ka-MEEK", local Cree for living or sitting room) Indigenous Student Centre is re-open and we're excited to be meeting and connecting with First Nations, Métis and Inuit students to help them succeed in class and beyond. We'll be sharing news, events, scholarships, career information and more over the course of the year. Stay tuned by joining the apîw kamîk Google Classroom, or by following apîw kamîk on Facebook.
- Daniel Lehman, Métis Learning Coach, is available during most block 4s to connect with students. He acts as a bridge to school-based supports and an additional ally and support to students.
