Origin
Before the establishment of Steveston-London Secondary School, Steveston Secondary School and Charles E. London Secondary School were two high schools close together. However, both schools were merged into one because of declining enrollment. The name "Steveston-London Secondary School" was chosen on June 14 2006 as decided in a student vote from both schools.
Steveston-London Secondary School occupies the same building as Charles E. London Secondary School had, with a new 19 million dollar addition. The new addition consists of a second floor science wing as well as 9 classrooms and 2 laboratories. Other additions include a library, theater, music room, and an additional gymnasium and counseling area. Many classrooms such as Charles E. London's former gymnasium has been renovated. The building where Steveston Secondary School located remains vacant as of April 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
