South Kamloops Secondary School is a public high school in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. It was formed in 1904 under the name Kamloops High School, and moved to its current campus in 1952. It was renamed in 2003 to its current name following a merger with the nearby John Peterson Junior Secondary School.
With approximately 1,000 students and 85 staff, SKSS is one of the largest secondary schools in British Columbia's School District 73 Kamloops/Thompson.
The school has fine arts programs in photography, visual arts, band and drama. The drama program has performed four different plays since the birth of the school; Dracula, Into the Woods, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s Welcome to the Monkey House, and Bye-Bye Birdie. The jazz band went to the 52nd MusicFest Canada Nationals in Toronto and won Gold standings in 2024, led by Music Director Michelle McRae.
SKSS's inaugural principal Vic Bifano was honoured with recognition as one of Canada's Best Principals and induction into the Canadian National Academy of Principals.
