École Secondaire Esquimalt High School (or "EHS") is a high school located in Esquimalt, a township located west of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. EHS is operated by the Greater Victoria School District. It is the designated secondary school for Shoreline and Rockheights Middle Schools and serves students from Esquimalt, View Royal, and the Victoria neighbourhoods of Vic West and Craigflower.[2] The school is one of three to retain "High School" in its name when the Province of B.C. directed the change to "Secondary School". The school is served by the student-run newspaper Esquimalt Ink.[3]
In addition to standard core curriculum programs, the following are offered:[4]
The various athletics teams are known as the Esquimalt Dockers.
The Curling Academy focuses on developing a blend of skills including academic excellence, leadership development, and curling skills. The program accepts students from all levels of curling proficiency, including wheelchair curlers.
The University of Victoria operates a weather station at EHS as part of its School-Based Weather Station Network which gathers data from schools around Greater Victoria for its Climate Modelling Group of the School of Earth and Ocean Science. The data is collected at the university and used to provide meteorological forecasts online.[5]
The school is a participant in the Sustainable High Schools Project offered by the Sierra Club BC’s Environmental Education Program.[6]
