The neighbourhood between Sperling Avenue and Burnaby Golf course was beginning to see a rapid development during the late 1960s causing the School Board to determine the need for a school to be built there. This was one of the last schools to be built in Burnaby before school enrolments in general began declining in the late 1970s.
