This February, Saskatoon Public Schools was excited to announce the official name of its new city centre prekindergarten to grade 8 school: misiwe-kisik | One Sky!

The name misiwe-kisik (pronounced mis-ih-wee kee-sik) is a Cree phrase meaning “under one sky.” Paired with One Sky, the name reflects a shared sense of connection, belonging and relationship across the communities the school will serve, while honouring Indigenous language, culture and ways of knowing.

This name was chosen with input from a wide variety of stakeholders, including students, staff, community members, Traditional Knowledge Keepers, and more. With input from all of these groups, the name honours the history of the neighbourhoods it serves while looking ahead to the bright future for misiwe-kisik | One Sky.

Ground was broken for the new build in June 2025. Since then, the building has taken shape, with major structural elements completed. Currently, the building is on track to be completed in 2027. The new school will be located on the former site of Princess Alexandra School (210 Ave H S) and will serve students and families from the King George, Pleasant Hill and Riversdale communities. The modern learning facility will have capacity for up to 400 students and will include 74 childcare spaces.
