George Elliot Secondary is a public high school in Lake Country, British Columbia, part of School District 23 Central Okanagan. In the 2006–07 year, there were 772 students. In the 2018–19 year, there were 913 students. The school was founded in 1959. The school has a store called "The Coyote's Den", named after the school's mascot. The school is also one of very few schools in BC that has a class devoted strictly to game design.
George Elliot Secondary is one of the few schools that have grades 7 to 12 attending, as the number of students in Lake Country is not sufficient to create a middle school. Recently, however, the number of Grade 7s in the area has risen dramatically. This, along with full-day kindergarten being started in 2011, will cause the three elementary schools, Davidson Road Elementary School, Peter Greer Elementary, and Oyama Traditional School, to have less classroom space.
Starting in September 2014, Grade 7s will attend George Elliot, to create what the district calls "a middle school within a high school". This will allow the full-day kindergarten children to have more room. In 2019, construction started on the new middle school built behind the campus; this means that after 2022, GES will only be grades 9–12, which will bring down the number of students to an estimated 600.
