“Honor Before Fame” echoes within these halls. You might not recognize it at first, but this phrase, etched into Point Grey st̓əyw̓əte:n̓ Secondary School’s very soul, whispers a tale. Point Grey st̓əyw̓əte:n̓ Secondary School isn’t just bricks and mortar. It’s a living testament to changing times, rising from humble beginnings as a junior high in 1929. Back then, it was the Municipality of Point Grey’s answer to a booming need for education. Imagine those first students, navigating a world on the brink of the Great Depression, their futures uncertain. Designed by Fred Townley and Matheson, the school’s Collegiate Gothic architecture harks back to a different era. This style, unusual for Vancouver schools, is more than just aesthetics. It speaks of a time when education was revered, a time when buildings like this were designed to inspire. Over the years, Point Grey st̓əyw̓əte:n̓ has seen its fair share of transformations. A new wing here, a state-of-the-art track there. Yet, through it all, its commitment to nurturing young minds has never wavered. This isn’t just a school, it’s a launchpad for dreams, a place where “Honor Before Fame” isn’t just a motto, but a way of life.
