Hugh McRoberts Secondary School, officially "École Secondaire Hugh McRoberts Secondary School" is a Canadian school in Richmond, British Columbia.
Named after Hugh McRoberts, one of the founders of Richmond, this secondary school (grades 8-12 in British Columbia) is one of the two schools in Richmond that offer the French Immersion program. The school is situated on Garden City Rd. and Williams Rd. and is a member of the School District 38 Richmond.
It opened on November 30th, 1962. The school was converted into a full high school in the mid-1990's, with the first class of the new 8-12 program graduating in 1997. The high school was partially renovated in 1999.
The school logo and mascot is a "Striker", which is depicted as a mounted knight carrying a lance. The logo had previously been a shamrock, but was reportedly changed because it was felt that this did not adequately convey the competitive nature of the school's athletic clubs.
The school offers various sports teams which students can join which include but are not limited to basketball, volleyball, rugby, soccer, field hockey, track, badminton, ultimate, tennis, table tennis and golf. Other clubs include Reach for the Top (a trivia club), Math Club, Woodwork Club, Comic Club, Global Leadership Club, and Physics Club.
Hugh McRoberts Secondary is the highest ranking school when compared to other secondary schools in Richmond and has an average ranking of 8.3 out of 10.0 for all schools in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. [1]
