H. D. Stafford Middle School

H.D. Stafford Middle School (formerly H.D. Stafford Secondary) is a public middle school in Langley, British Columbia, part of School District 35 Langley. It was formerly the only secondary school in Langley City (as opposed to the Township of Langley), but in September, 2008, HD Stafford Secondary became a Middle School. History H.D. Stafford School was originally opened as a junior high school (grades 8-10) in 1970. It was named after Harold D. Stafford, former Inspector of Schools, Administrative Officer, and later as Chief Executive Officer, all with Langley School District. Additional wings were added to the building in 1971 (west end 2-storey wing), 1974 (N.W. Room shop wing) and 1975 (N. W. Art room shop wing). In the early 1980s, an expanding population led to its transformation into a full-fledged secondary school (grades 8-12). The building was further expanded in 1994. In 2006, H.D. Stafford's athletics expanded to include a rugby team. Teams were running at the grade 8, junior varsity and varsity levels.
