History and characteristics

In 1961, the Souris Regional High School instructing students in grades 9-12 was officially opened by Premier Walter R. Shaw.
In 1984, a section of Souris Regional High School was demolished and a new section added containing classrooms, cafeteria, gymnasium, and an area for vocational training in carpentry, welding and motor vehicle repair.
Beginning with the 2009 academic year, Souris Regional High School changed to grades 8-12; this was due to the closure of several smaller consolidated (K-8) schools in Kings County.
In 2011 the provincial government approved a request from the school board to close and demolish the Souris Consolidated School (grades K-7) and to renovate and build an addition onto the Souris Regional High School building in order to accommodate a total of 625 students (grades K-12). Planning and design was completed in 2012 and construction took place in 2013-2014.
The school was renamed Souris Regional School and students from grades K-12 began attending class in 2014.

Souris Regional School is currently the second smallest in the province in terms of student enrollment.
