Board of Education

At Chinook’s Edge, our motto is ‘where students come first’. Every program and every decision we make is based on our focus and priority of service to students. Chinook’s Edge is a community of people committed to students each and every day.

The Chinook’s Edge Board of Education is made up of nine elected trustees. Each trustee is proud of our dedicated staff, our great students, our engaged parents and our supportive communities.
