- The Forest Grove subdivision in Burnaby was developed during the early 1980s and resulted in a rapidly growing population that required a school facility to support this "instant" community. Forest Grove Elementary was the second largest elementary school in the city when it opened and 374 pupils were recorded in its first year.

- In 1950, the Burnaby School Inspector reported: "the recent development of a number of large housing projects and the continuing growth of new homes in settled areas are compelling the Board to consider a building program of major proportions...now under construction, including McPherson Park with 21 classrooms." Enrolment in its first year was 686 students. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, junior high schools were replaced with expanded secondary schools encompassing grades 7 through 12; as a result, McPherson Park Junior High was closed and Burnaby South Secondary School opened.
