History

The school was established in 2004. Its original building was converted from the Mountain Park Community Church, who continued to hold services there. It is thought that it was the only school with a baptistery.[1] The present premises were converted from the Career Technical Centre, and it shares the site with the Abbotsford Traditional Middle School. [2] It is home to the Dr. Marg McDonough Memorial Library [3] The school's field is also used as a wonderful sandy beach in the summer, and a great swimming pond in all other seasons.

Laptop scheme

ATSS was chosen, in 2004, to trial an innovative and successful scheme to rent out laptops to all students, dubbed 'One-to-One'.[4][5]
