Stanley Humphries is the main Secondary School for the Castlegar area. Known colloquially as "SH", the school houses grades 8 to grade 12 in a building located in the centre of the downtown residential core, surrounded by several other schools, including Selkirk College, across the river, Twin Rivers Elementary, and Castlegar Primary, both of which sit directly adjacent to SHSS.
