History

In 1951, ADSS was located on the site of the former Redford School, but needed to move to the site on Burde Street within a year to accommodate all the new students attending. Although at this time there were 800 students and 32 teachers, approximately half of the students were in grade 7 or 8, with only about 30 students in the graduating class. In 1977, enrollment was around 1300 in grades 11 and 12, with over 400 students in grade 12 alone. Many additions were built onto this second school, including a cafeteria. In January 1974, the roof was blown off the building and extensive damage was caused to the interior.

School District 70 is currently building a new high school in Port Alberni.
