Sisler High School is the largest high school in the province of Manitoba with over 1800 students. It was built in 1957, and named after William James Sisler. As principal of Strathcona School in the North End of Winnipeg, W.J. Sisler was instrumental in helping new immigrant families adjust. He faced a great challenge in the fact that a majority of the students did not speak English; there were twenty-two countries of origin and eighteen language groups in his student body. In addition, many of his students came from areas where they were deprived their right to education. In his book ''Peaceful Invasion'', W.J. Sisler says "Once they understood the value of education that was freely offered to them they took full advantage of all that we could give them". He adapted the education system for his immigrant students, and the provincial government of Manitoba soon officially adopted his method of teaching.〔(Manitoba Pageant: W. J. Sisler, A Great Canadian )〕 Sisler High School today has a large ESL (English as a Second Language) program. ==Teaching Excellence== Sisler High School has been recognized for teaching excellence. Principal George Heshka, who has been principal of Sisler High School for twenty-five years, has overseen the creation of various programmes such as the All-Girl classes, the 24-Hour Exile, and the humanitarian groups of Sisler High School.〔(Plain great | Macleans.ca - Canada - Features )〕 Nine teachers at Sisler High School have won ''Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence''.
