The original Burnaby South High School was replaced in 1993 and the new Burnaby South Secondary School and BC Provincial School for the Deaf was built at this location. This school was built with the latest technology and modern equipment to ensure it was fully accessible and offers integrated academic, social and recreational activities for its students.
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.
