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.
