Three Schools Slated for Closure in Summerland, Penticton to Host Legacy Events

  • The Okanagan-Skaha school district will host legacy celebrations in June 2025 to honor the three elementary schools—Carmi, Parkway, and Giant's Head—before their permanent closure.
  • The board voted in April 2024 to close these three schools due to declining enrollment and as part of a long-range facilities plan.
  • Parent Advisory Committees organized events with games and food, and are fundraising to support these celebrations and future community events for new merged schools.
  • Board chair James Palanio expressed appreciation for the Parent Advisory Committees' dedication and efforts in supporting school communities.
  • The closures will take effect in June 2025, and the former school buildings may be leased to generate revenue for the district.
