PITT MEADOWS — Students at Pitt Meadows Secondary School are set to have a massive upgrade in the coming years as construction begins on a replacement project on the same property.

The new school for youth in grades 8 to 12 will replace 1,100 seats in what the province calls a “safer, more modern environment,” and will include a nearby learning centre with a purpose-built space for Indigenous education, theatre space, and a teaching kitchen for the community.

“Pitt Meadows is a vibrant community with a bright future and I’m proud that the local high school will soon better reflect the community it serves,” said Education Minister Lisa Beare. 

“The new Pitt Meadows Secondary will give students a modern, welcoming place to learn, build friendships and create memories, while providing the wider community with spaces to come together for generations to come.”

The B.C. government is contributing roughly $143 million for the project, with $142,000 from the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District and the City of Pitt Meadows adding $800,000 for the new turf field.

“The City is pleased to support the replacement of the existing turf field using existing reserve funds, ensuring this well-used recreational space can continue to serve our community as part of the new school site,” said Nicole MacDonald, mayor of Pitt Meadows. 

The province first announced the new Pitt Meadows Secondary in August 2024. It is expected to open for students by fall 2029.

In Maple Ridge, a 120-seat addition at Blue Mountain Elementary is also under construction and expected to open early next year, while upgrade work on Harry Hooge Elementary is expected to start in summer 2027.
