Grade 7 students in Chase and Barriere will be sharing a school with Grade 12 students starting this September.
School District 73 trustees finalized the decision on Monday at the public board meeting in Kamloops.
“This move will give many young people a unique opportunity to explore their passions and interests by giving the Grade 7's access to specialized equipment and facilities and creating additional space at the elementary schools to address their needs for more flexible space,” said district superintendent, Alison Sidow.
“We’re excited to see this proposal move forward in these two communities.”
Grade 7 students in Clearwater will remain in elementary schools because many community members in that area were opposed to the idea.
The decision followed a lengthy consultation with parents, staff and students in each community.
The plan to move Grade 7 students to high school was released in December 2017.
District 73 feels the change will benefit Grade 7 students by giving them earlier access to academic and other specialty programs and as well as academic counselling.
