History

Abbotsford Secondary School was established in 1952, when Abbotsford was a village.[2] The school name was changed over the summer of 2006 to Abbotsford Collegiate, as part of the school district merging Abbotsford Senior Secondary and the Career Technical Centre. The name was changed back to Abbotsford Senior Secondary School in 2012.[3]

Most of the original building was demolished and replaced in a project that was completed in 2012, with a three-storey, mostly wood rotunda connecting the old and new sections and serving as a focal point.[2][4] It then had a capacity of 950 students.

In November 2016 two girls, aged 13 and 14, were stabbed at the school, one fatally. A 21-year-old drifter with no apparent connection to the school was subdued by staff and has been accused of second-degree murder and aggravated assault.[3][5][6]

Academics

Abbotsford Senior Secondary is one of thirteen schools in British Columbia offering the International Baccalaureate program.[7]

Sports

Abbotsford Senior Secondary's male and female basketball programs compete in AAA. The school's teams are the Panthers.
