Athletics

Fort McMurray Public School District is pleased to offer the PEAK Athletic Academy, a passion based learning model that allows students athletes to combine their passion for sports within an academic setting. PEAK Athletic Academy. The "peak" is  the focus on students striving to be at the top of their athletic, academic, and leadership potential in hockey, dance or soccer.

PASSION EXCELLENCE ATTITUDE KNOWLEDGE

PEAK’s founding philosophy was built around achieving a balance between academics, leadership and sport skill development. Too often, there is a great deal of pressure on young competitive athletes to balance their academic studies with their community team commitments, extra curricular activities along with other responsibilities in their young lives. This rigorous schedule can often result in the student experiencing varying degrees of difficulty completing their academic studies. Our PEAK Academy focuses on promoting the student as an athlete and providing the academic and leadership development to support success in sports.

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
