Welcome to our school website.
Our website is under construction in many areas, and we invite you to continue to return to see the ongoing changes. Ghùch Tlâ Community School is located in the community of Carcross, which is situated in the Southern Lakes region of Yukon, about a 45-minute drive from Whitehorse. Our school population tends to fluctuate sligtly; right now we have 52 students in full time attendance. The majority of our students (92%) are Carcross/Tagish First Nation and come from the community of Carcross and the surrounding area. Our teaching staff consists of seven teachers (including two Native Language teachers), two educational assistants. one remedial tutor, and a part time librarian. For such a small school we continually strive to not only have BIG ideas, but to make those ideas happen!! |
