History
Moscrop opened in 1959 as a junior high school, serving students in Burnaby West. Until 1998 Moscrop Secondary was a Junior High, with only grades eight to ten. In 1998 they incorporated grade 11, and 1999, grade 12. The school’s small physical building suffered from strains after expanding its capacity to grades 11 and 12 during and after this time. To accommodate the larger number of students, the building was renovated and an addition was added; notably, the improved science lab and the multi-purpose room. The upgrades took place between 2000 and 2003 and during this time students split their time between the main building and 36 Portable classrooms which were located on the upper field.
