Seaquam Secondary is a public high school in Delta, British Columbia part of School District 37 Delta. It serves the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood in North Delta. Seaquam was rated as the top secondary school Delta (64th overall in the province) by the 2004/05 Fraser Institute rankings [1]
The school name was decided by a contest in which students and members of the community participated. The Board of School Trustees chose "Seaquam" in the end, which means 'the sun' or 'sunshine' in the Musqueam language.
The school opened on September 6, 1977 with 37 staff members and 633 students in grades 7 to 11. The number of staff was increased to 41 when one hundred more students enrolled than expected. Since then, grade 12 was added and grade 7 was dropped to meet the present 8-12 standard for high schools. It is interesting to note that a few of the original teaching staff still remain teaching in Seaquam.
