Have you registered for Transportation for the 2026-2027 school year?

Now is the time to check your Parent Portal on Bus Planner to make sure your student(s) are registered: https://bus.ghsd75.ca

If you have NOT registered, please do so sooner rather than later through the Online Forms on Bus Planner.

If you have ALREADY registered, please use the Parent Portal to see which bus your child is assigned to and bus stop information.

** While Golden Hills strives to get our students assigned to buses in a timely manner, all late registrations may have a slight delay in assignment.

This morning, the Acme Community Gym Building Fund presented a cheque for $1.4 million to Golden Hills School Division.

This contribution was made possible through incredible community support and fundraising efforts. Thanks to all the partners, an outstanding $1.4 million was raised for a larger gymnasium at Acme School.

Golden Hills School Division is extremely grateful for this generous donation and the remarkable commitment of the Acme community.

Are you starting to think about the upcoming school year? You are not alone!

The 2026-2027 calendar is available!

Just a friendly reminder: classes resume Tuesday, September 1.

See you then!

Students from Three Hills School had the privilege of attending the National Student Leadership Conference in Indianapolis.

Experiences like this offer invaluable lessons in teamwork, communication, and community building. We are so proud of our students for taking on this opportunity, and we look forward to seeing how they inspire their peers and put their new leadership skills into action in the upcoming school year!

We are so proud of Strathmore High School's 2026 Alberta Envirothon Provincial Champions!

Before heading off to represent Strathmore High School at the NCF-Envirothon in Mississippi, the team joined Strathmore Town Council at the July 15 Committee of the Whole Meeting.

Join us in wishing these incredible students the best of luck as they take on their next environmental competition!

A big thank you to Strathmore's 2026 Envirothon competitors for joining this week's Council Meeting!

The Alberta Envirothon is an environmental education program and competition that challenges high school students to apply their knowledge of topics such as aquatic ecology, forestry, soils and land use, wildlife, and current environmental issues. Through hands-on learning, teamwork, and problem-solving, participants develop practical skills while exploring solutions to real-world environmental challenges.

Representing Strathmore, these students have dedicated their time and energy to expanding their environmental knowledge and preparing for competition. Their commitment to learning, collaboration, and environmental stewardship is something to be proud of.

Best of luck to the team in their upcoming competition, we'll be cheering them on!

Golden Hills School Division wishes our students, staff, and families an enjoyable summer break!
