The Tri-County Regional Centre for Education (TCRCE) is the public school board responsible for elementary, junior high, and high schools in Digby County, Yarmouth County, and Shelburne County in Nova Scotia, Canada.

History

The Southwest Regional School Board previously covered all schools in Digby County, Yarmouth County, Shelburne County, Queens County, and Lunenburg County. In the spring of 2000, a pilot project created two smaller district boards in the Southwest District School Board, the Tri-County District School Board and the South Shore Regional School Board which focused solely on classroom and education issues. An administrative structure was formed to provide financial, busing, building and other non- classroom services to both districts. ^{[2] [3]} On August 1, 2004, the province formed two separate Regional Boards out of the former Southwest Regional School Board, creating the Tri-County Regional School Board. ^{[4] [5]} The TCRCE was formed on April 1, 2018 through the Nova Scotia Education Reform Act.
