Brooks Secondary School is a high school in Powell River, British Columbia part of School District 47 Powell River. Recent expansion to the school added a 100 by 50 meter turf field. Brooks is also home to the Max Cameron Theatre, a 500-seat two level proscenium theatre. Brooks Secondary was rebuilt on the same site as the original Brooks school. The new Brooks saw its first graduating class in 1996. In the early 2000s, Max Cameron Secondary School, the other high school in Powell River, was closed and Brooks Secondary became the sole high school in town.
