Fraser Heights Secondary School
Fraser Heights Secondary is a public high school in Surrey, British Columbia part of School District 36 Surrey. Around the school is a vast park area, a large field as well as the Fraser Heights Recreation Centre. The school is known for its high academic reputation in various subjects as well as its music and sports programs which have also been high ranking. When the school first opened, it was only designed for 1000 people, but currently there are around 1700 students attending Fraser Heights. The school's student-to-size ratio has been one of the biggest criticisms towards the School District, who claimed that this was of utmost importance yet have not taken action over the years. Possible expansion plans have been rejected by the school board but in Fall of 2008 the school issued a petition demanding the increase in size of the school, which subsequently failed.

Famous quotes containing the words heights, secondary and/or school:
“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Cloud-clown, blue painter, sun as horn,
Hill-scholar, man that never is,
The bad-bespoken lacker,
Ancestor of Narcissus, prince
Of the secondary men. There are no rocks
And stones, only this imager.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
