Secrest is 30!

In 1994, our founder, Rick Stuible was motivated by a simple curiosity – how could technology be used to help support students struggling in the classroom? Rick worked closely with educational consultants to identify areas of need and started offering a relatively limited catalogue to a mostly local customer base. Since then, Secrest’s product catalogue has expanded to hundreds of items that are delivered to individuals, schools and organizations across Canada.

While innovation has brought the world of education and technology to new heights over the last 30 years, what hasn’t changed is the curiosity that first inspired Secrest – how can we best support the needs of our customers? We do this by offering a range of cost-effective, reliable products that are carefully selected to meet the unique needs of our clients.

To celebrate 30 years of serving the needs of our clients (like you!), we would like to offer $30 off of online orders over $300 throughout the month of September. To take advantage of this offer, enter the coupon code SECREST30 when checking out.
