The Southern Gateway to the Peace River County, Grande Prairie is a four-and-a-half hour drive northwest of Edmonton. Located on Treaty 8 Territory, Grande Prairie is the major hub of Northwest Alberta, boasting a population of over 60,000. The surrounding Grande Prairie County is known for exciting dinosaur bone discoveries, exhibited at the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum, and for early settler historical sites, such as the Old Bezanson Townsite.
Learning in Grande Prairie

Charles Spencer High School is the city’s only 4A public high school.

About Charles Spencer High School
Charles E. Spencer was a partner in the company that founded the original Grande Prairie townsite. He built many of the city’s original buildings, and was highly involved in a number of civic projects and initiatives in the Peace Region. His visionary dedication to community success makes him the embodiment of the maverick spirit that symbolizes our achievement.
At Charles Spencer High School, we are proud to be Mavericks. Our school has held provincial titles in a number of ASAA sports, including Basketball and Wrestling. We offer a cutting-edge digital media studio, a multi-award winning culinary program and a highly-acclaimed musical theatre team.
