Steveston Secondary School is a former public high school in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. It was operated by the Richmond School District. In the school year 2007-08 it combined with nearby Charles E. London Secondary School to form Steveston-London Secondary School (SLSS). The combined school is on the site of the former London Secondary, with the Steveston Secondary building no longer in use. ==History== Steveston Secondary was opened in 1956 originally for students from the Steveston fishing village in southwestern Richmond. Initially, it was a junior high school teaching grades 7-9, then became a combined junior-secondary school, and then it became a Senior Secondary with only Grades 11 and 12. In 1996, it was expanded back again to include the full grades 8-12. New additions to school were completed over the years to account for its burgeoning size. In 1966, an Industrial Education wing was added, in 1970 the library expanded, two new classrooms and home economics labs were added, in 1971 the gym was altered, in 1974 the student lounge was built and in 1978 a Social Studies wing was added. The year 1981 saw the biggest renovation yet, a million-dollar project for Steveston’s Silver Jubilee. The Steveston High School Alumni Association (SHSAA) was established in 1987 by the graduates of 1962 who were celebrating their 25-year reunion. SHSAA was the first public high school alumni association in Canada. 〔(Steveston Secondary Website, accessed April 2, 2009 )〕 In 1988, the school opened one of the first in-house Fish Hatcheries at a public school in British Columbia. Fish were raised at the school and released into local streams. After the school's 2007-08 merger with Charles E. London Secondary School, the Steveston secondary building has remained vacant. On occasion, the building appeared to be used for the training the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), possibly in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. As of 2013, the land which the school resides on was purchased by Polygon Homes. The school building will be demolished to make way for a new development. It is unknown if this development would be named after the school or not. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steveston Secondary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
