Steinbach Regional Secondary School
MISSION STATEMENT:
Preparing Today’s Students
for Tomorrow’s Challenges
The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is located on 190 McKenzie Avenue near the south side of
the city of Steinbach.
Planned by the Hanover School Division Board, in cooperation with representatives from the Seine River,
Red River, and Boundary School Boards, and financed jointly by the Federal and Provincial governments
on a cost-sharing basis, the school provides instruction in academic, vocational, business and transition
programs.
Built and furnished at a cost of over four million dollars in 1972, the Steinbach Regional Secondary
School is a modern two storey structure having a floor area of approximately 152,000 square feet, and is
designed to accommodate 1350 students in Grades 10, 11, and 12 and in Transition Education.
Renovations to the kitchen were made and a new band room and transition area with 2 classrooms and 2
labs were added in the fall of 1996.
The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is a comprehensive high school. It offers secondary education
for high school age students in Steinbach and area and includes students from neighbouring towns. It
has all the necessary facilities and equipment, including trained personnel, for a wide range of technical
programs. There are a variety of programs for students of differing abilities.
The school provides the following educational alternatives.
1. An academic program of varying difficulty levels - to meet either post secondary entrance or
general education requirements.
2. A combined technical and general academic program designed for entry directly into the work
force or post secondary institutions.
3. A Cooperative education program and High School Apprenticeship Program.
4. A Transition program for students with special education needs.
The semester system and individualized timetabling allow students considerable freedom in subject and
program selections. Furthermore, the introduction of designated levels permits students to choose
courses and programs especially geared to their individual interests and abilities. A spacious library,
seminar rooms, computers and other technological aids all help to encourage teaching-learning
approaches which stress individual initiative and application.
Although provision is made to teach marketable skills in a real on-the-job atmosphere in well-equipped
shops, every effort is made to ensure that students also get a broad general education. All students
receive an ample grounding in English, social studies, mathematics, science and physical education. In
addition, students are given opportunity to participate in music and drama.
