Summer Reading: Discover the Stories Behind Abbotsford School Names
What can the name of a school tell us about the history of a community?
This summer, take a journey through Abbotsford's past by exploring the stories behind the names of our schools. From community builders and educators to Indigenous leaders and local landmarks, each school has a unique story that reflects the people, places and values that have helped shape Abbotsford.
The What's in a Name? Legacy Project was created to preserve and share these stories for future generations. Whether you're a current student, alumni, staff member, parent or history enthusiast, we invite you to spend some time discovering the people and histories connected to our schools.
