The South Shore Regional School Board (SSRSB) was formed in August 2004, when the Province of Nova Scotia dissolved the Southwest Regional School Board and created two regional Boards – SSRSB and Tri-County Regional School Board. SSRSB is responsible for providing education to the 59,000 residents of Lunenburg and Queens counties, an area of 5250 square kilometres.

Regional and school-based staff manage our school system. Staff provide education programs and services to all students; operate and maintain schools; provide transportation; and employ regional staff, school administrators, teachers, administrative assistants, librarians, custodians, program support assistants, computer technicians and school bus drivers.
