Langley Secondary is a public high school in Langley, British Columbia part of School District 35 Langley. It is the oldest secondary school in the Langley School District, having been opened in 1949.
Langley Secondary offers programs for students in Grade 9 to 12 and has strong traditions in academics, fine arts and athletics. Langley Secondary has one partner school, the HD Stafford Middle School (grades 6, 7 and 8). Langley Secondary has over 1000 students and 80 staff members. In addition to regular provincially prescribed curriculum leading to graduation, the school has unique academic programs including AVID and Advanced Placement. The school offers a Fine Arts Intensive Program, sports academies, an alternate academic program (Focus), and BCIT’s Piping and Plumbing Program which provides post secondary credit to high school students. The school has well-equipped labs and shops and strong connections with trades and academic programs at the local University Colleges. In addition to two gymnasiums, a combatant’s room and a fully equipped weight room, the athletics program has full access to adjacent fields, a stadium, a track and a lacrosse box.
In popular culture
It has been used as one of the sets for the 2009 horror film, Jennifer's Body, starring Megan Fox and has been used in LifeTime TV's "The Pregnancy Project" along with many other films.
Musical Theatre
After the conversion of HD Stafford into a middle school in the 08/09 year, The Theatre program moved to LSS along with two of the Artistic Team members. LSS Teams up with HD Stafford every year to put on productions such as:
Steel Pier (2008-2009)
Bye Bye Birdie (2009-2010)
For Old Times Sake (2010-2011)
Les Misérables (2011-2012)
The Sound of Plaid (2012-2013)
Thoroughly Modern Millie (2013-2014)
Shrek the Musical (2014-2015)
The Pajama Game (2015-2016)
The Little Mermaid (2016-2017)
They use the Small Gym, Via attached drama room Theatre, as the school doesn't have a proper Theatre, like Stafford did, to put on the productions each year.
