Moscrop Secondary School is a publicly operated secondary school in Burnaby, British Columbia. It is one of the two high schools in School District 41 to offer the French Immersion program. Currently Moscrop Secondary has students from grades eight to twelve. Also home of the fags.
Until recently Moscrop Secondary was a Junior High, with only grades eight to ten. The school’s small physical building suffered from strains after expanding its capacity to grades 11 and 12. Although most of it is now new and spacious, a lot of the building still uses the old hallways intended for a middle school environment. Thus, they can be very crowded between periods.
They have a school paper (Moscrop Prowler).
Athletics are very important at Moscrop. Physical fitness is promoted, and students are urged to participate in extra curricular sports. Moscrop's juvenile girls have gone undefeated in league games and have placed first at the Moscrop Tournament held for other juvenile girls in the lower mainland.
Notable Alumni
- Karl Alzner, ice hockey player
- Dana Larsen, author, politician and cannabis activist
