[edit] Academics
Sands Secondary was formerly Sands Junior Secondary with Grades 8-10. With the reconfiguration of the 4 northernmost high schools in Delta (also involving Delview, Burnsview and North Delta), Sands Secondary is now Grades 8-12 with its first Grade 12 class graduating in June 2006.
[edit] Athletics
It is home of the Sands Scorpions football team coached by veteran Ron Uyeyama and son and SFU Alumnis Jamie Uyeyama. Scorpions football is entering its second successful season in fall of 2006. The 2005 & 2006 season saw Sands secondary accused of recruiting violations. Coach Ron Uyeyama was sanctioned for 1 game by BC School Sports. BC High School Football, in an attempt to create what they felt was a level playoff field sanctioned Sands out of the Playoffs. The School district took BC High School football to court and won an injunction, re-entering Sands into the playoff race. The case has still yet to be heard. Sands did not play a league game in 2006 as all league opponents forfeited to them in protest believing that Sands had in fact violated recruiting rules. Sands was given the #1 seed from there division going into the playoffs. The Scorpions went on to defeat a strong Mission Secondary team in quarterfinal action, before falling to Hugh Boyd Secondary ( A team that had previously forfeited to the Scorpions in regular season play ) in the Semi-Finals.
