History
Originally White Rock Secondary School, Earl Marriott Secondary was founded in 1972 and named after its first Principal, Earl Marriott, who eventually became Superintendent of Surrey School District #36. EMS enjoys a lighthearted rivalry with Semiahmoo Secondary School as well as Elgin Park Secondary School. This year, the Sandcastle Cup, a major annual game between the Mariners and Semiahmoo Totems, was won by E.M.S. Earl Marriott is best known for its excellence in the theatre, as well as its athletic achievements, particularly and most recently in rugby. EMS puts on either a play or musical out of the indwelling Wheelhouse Theatre year after year. At 2:00pm on March 1, 2011, over 1000 students walked out to intervene the new bell schedule. Politicians, principals, and the media all showed to take part of the anti-government petition.
