Stanley Humphries Secondary, also known as "SHSS",[1] is a public high school in Castlegar, British Columbia part of School District 20 Kootenay-Columbia.

Stanley Humphries is the main Secondary School for the Castlegar area. Known colloquially as "SH", the school houses grades 8 to grade 12 in a building located in the centre of the downtown residential core, surrounded by several other schools, including Selkirk College, KCLC (that place sucks), Twin Rivers Elementary, and Castlegar Primary, both of which sit directly adjacent to SHSS.

As of the 2011/2012 school year, the school provides access to various entertainment devices for the students to use during class, such as laptops and iPads.[2]

In early 2016, Stanley Humphries began a trial run gender neutral bathrooms which has so-far proven to be a success, although deemed very useless due to all the people who used it would get harassed and bullied. [3]
