Langley Secondary offers programs for students in Grade 9 to 12 and has strong traditions in academics, fine arts and athletics. Langley Secondary has one partner school, the HD Stafford Middle School (grades 6, 7 and 8). Langley Secondary has over 1000 students and 80 staff members. In addition to regular provincially prescribed curriculum leading to graduation, the school has unique academic programs including AVID and Advanced Placement. The school offers a Fine Arts Intensive Program, sports academies, an alternate academic program (Focus), and BCIT's Piping and Plumbing Program which provides post secondary credit to high school students. The school has well-equipped labs and shops and strong connections with trades and academic programs at the local University Colleges. In addition to two gymnasiums, a combatant's room and a fully equipped weight room, the athletics program has full access to adjacent fields, a stadium, a track and a lacrosse box.

It has been used as one of the sets for the 2009 horror film, Jennifer's Body, starring Megan Fox and has been used in LifeTime TV's "The Pregnancy Project" along with many other films.

Musical Theatre

After the conversion of HD Stafford into a middle school in the 08/09 year, the theatre program moved to LSS along with two of the Artistic Team teachers. LSS teams up with HD Stafford Middle School every year to put on productions as follows:

Steel Pier (2008-2009)

Bye Bye Birdie (2009-2010)

For Old Times Sake (2010-2011)

Les Misérables (2011-2012)

The Sound of Plaid (2012-2013)

Thoroughly Modern Millie (2013-2014)

Shrek the Musical (2014-2015)

The Pajama Game (2015-2016)

The Little Mermaid (2016-2017)

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2017-2018)

Guys and Dolls (2018-2019)

They use the small gym, as it is attached to the drama room theatre, as the school does not have a proper theatre.
