Abbotsford Secondary School was established in 1952, when Abbotsford was a village. The school's name was changed over the summer of 2006 to
Abbotsford Collegiate, as part of the school district merging Abbotsford Senior Secondary and the Career Technical Centre. The name was changed back to Abbotsford Senior Secondary School in 2012. Most of the original building was demolished and replaced in a project completed in 2012, with a three-storey, mostly wood rotunda connecting the old and new sections and serving as a focal point. It then had a capacity of 950 students. In November 2016, two girls, aged 13 and 14, were stabbed at the school, one fatally. A 21-year-old drifter with no apparent connection to the school was subdued by staff and was charged with
second-degree murder and
aggravated assault charges. He was subsequently convicted of both charges in March 2020. ==Academics==
