==History==
The site for Gleneagle had been set aside for more than 15 years and the school had been expected to open in 1993, yet had been postponed for several years due to funding shortfalls.〔Poole, Kate. (June 14, 1995) "Parents launch campaign for Gleneagle" ''The Tri-City News. ''〕 In 1995, for a second year in a row, provincial funds from the education ministry were not allocated for the $25 million construction, potentially resulting in 3000 high school students being relegated to portable classrooms within two years. Protests from local parents resulted in signs being affixed to the chain link fence surrounding the site and parents and children waving posters and placards at passing motorists on one of the busiest intersections serving Coquitlam's northwest neighborhoods.〔Posta, Hazel.(May, 1995). "Signs at school site" ''Tri-City News. ''〕 In October, 1995, a local parent group, P.E.A.C.E. (Parents Expecting Adequate Funding for Construction and Education), began selling imaginary bricks for $2 each in a fundraiser that was supported unanimously in a vote by the school board.〔Simpson, Scott. (October 25, 1995). "Parents to sell bricks for new school". ''The Vancouver Sun. ''〕 By the end of 1995 they had raised over $10,000 towards the $25 million cost.〔Tri-City News: 10 for 95: The News' Top 10 List of Stories. December 31, 1995.〕 The "Buy a Brick - Build a School" campaign resulted in funds being released in the 1996/97 capital budget for education in April 1996 with an announcement by Port Coquiltam MLA, Mike Farnsworth.〔Balcom, Susan. (April 12, 1996). "Coquitlam gets go-ahead: Construction of a secondary school at the base of Eagle Ridge has been approved". ''The Vancouver Sun. ''〕 Gleneagle Secondary School was officially opened on September 2, 1997 with 1200 students from grades 9 - 11.
