Henry James Cambie Secondary School

Henry James Cambie Secondary School is a public secondary school in Richmond that serves students in grades 8 through 12 with a range of academic and practical programs. The campus includes facilities designed to support classroom learning, hands-on activities, and student services.

The school opened in 1928 as Richmond Secondary School, initially serving only upper-level students. It expanded in 1937 to include younger grades and eventually grew into the comprehensive secondary school it is today.

The school offers programs in applied design, arts, and physical education that shape student life throughout the year. These activities represent how the institution engages with young people in practical and creative ways.

Parents and students use the MyEd BC system to access school information and grades online. It helps to set up this account early in the school year to stay connected with teacher updates and academic progress.

The school runs a woodworking and carpentry program where senior students actually build log cabins and timber structures on site. This hands-on program teaches practical skills that go beyond typical classroom learning.
