History
Balmoral Junior Secondary School had opened in about 1959 to serve Grades 8 and 9 students in the northwest area of the District of North Vancouver. It was intended as a feeder to Delbrook Senior Secondary a few blocks away. In 1969 Balmoral split the grade 10 class with Delbrook.
In January 1977 the Delbrook building was destroyed by fire necessitating Balmoral accommodating both schools' students and staff until the end of June. Following this, Balmoral became a feeder school to Carson Graham Secondary School.
In 2009, Balmoral ceased to exist as a separate school and became the second campus to Carson Graham Secondary School.
The Balmoral site is slated to close in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
