District Overview
“At Gold Trail school district we work together to support success for all students in a safe, supportive, culturally rich environment reflecting the unique strengths of our rural communities.”
Our district communities are all small and remote, but each is unique in terms of culture and outlook. Gold Trail’s mission is to create a dynamic and supportive learning community that inspires and enables all students to achieve their potential. The mission statement drives the work we do.

Community Culture
Our communities are dedicated to preserving, developing and expanding services for their residents, ultimately enhancing the lifestyle of all who live here.

The AVID program is in place in the four district secondary schools. Foundations Programs are available in Ashcroft, Lillooet and Lytton communities, providing an alternate education program for students who struggle socially and academically.
