École Secondaire South Kamloops Secondary School (SKSS), Home of the Titans, is a grade 8-12 school in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. It was formed in 1904 under the name Kamloops High School, and moved to its present campus in 1952. It gained the name South Kamloops Secondary School in 2003 through the merger of John Peterson Secondary School and Kamloops Secondary School, two secondary schools located adjacently on the same block.
With approximately 1,000 students and 60 staff, SKSS is one of the largest secondary schools in British Columbia's School District 73 Kamloops/Thompson.
The school has fine arts programs in photography, visual arts, band and drama. The drama program has performed four different plays since the birth of the school; Dracula, Into the Woods, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s Welcome to the Monkey House, and Bye-Bye Birdie.
SKSS's inaugural principal Vic Bifano was honoured with recognition as one of Canada's Best Principals and induction into the Canadian National Academy of Principals.[1]
