Magee Secondary School is one of the largest public high school located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The school is one of the first and few high schools in British Columbia. Magee was used as a temporary hospital during the Influenza Epidemic in 1918. Magee was rebuilt and the new Magee was officially opened in 2000. Magee is noted for its SPARTS program--giving students a way to both attend school while pursuing and practicing their sport, music, or art.
