Gulf Islands Secondary School (GISS) is a grade 8 to 12 public school in School District 64 Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada. [1] It is located on Salt Spring Island and is attended by students from Salt Spring Island, Pender Island, Galiano Island, Mayne Island and Saturna Island. The school is home to the Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts (GISPA). The GISS Improv Team is known for winning gold at the Canadian Improv Games National Competition in 2017, silver in 2018, gold in 2019, and bronze in 2024. GISS is also known for their cafeteria and culinary program, which has won a $1500 grant towards their garden and school composting.
In 2014 Salt Spring Community Energy raised money for the installation of a 21 kW solar PV system for the gym roof. It was the second largest publicly owned solar array at the time. The energy savings created an annual scholarship from the electrical bill savings.
