School District 82 Coast Mountains is a school district in northwestern British Columbia between Prince Rupert and Prince George. This includes the major centres of Terrace, Kitimat and extends to the town of Stewart on the BC-Alaska border.

History

In January 1968, School District 51 (Portland Canal) and School District 53 (Terrace) merged to form School District 88 (Skeena–Cassiar).^[1] In early 1975, School District 88 (Terrace) became the commonly used name.^[2] School District 82 was created in late 1996 by the amalgamation of School District 80 (Kitimat) and School District 88 (Terrace).^[3]

Until 2000, the school district had also provided schooling to American students from neighbouring Hyder, Alaska.
