Springbank Community High School

The original 2,495 m² high school was a one-storey building built in 1975. In 1980, two small additions comprising 521.6 m² were added to provide CTS (Career and Technology Studies) and Home Economics space.

In 1994, major new additions and modernization took place to provide permanent classroom space with reuse of some existing portables on site. The new addition consisted of 3317 m² of library, science, classroom and physical education space. In 1990, four portables were relocated to the site and a new connecting corridor was added in the 1994 renovation (total portable and link area approximately 500 m²). In 1999, four more portables were added with an additional area of 367 m². In 2001, two additional portables were relocated to the site for an additional 188.5 m². The total area of the current school building is 7,882.1 m² and replacement cost in 2006 was estimated to be 13.8 million dollars.[1]

The school competes and participates in the South Central Zone of the Alberta Schools Athletic Association. It has membership in the Rocky View Sports Association.,[2] and follows its guidelines and policies. Student athletes participate as Springbank Phoenix.

The school is located south of the Transcanada Highway, near Calaway Park. Its feeder school, Springbank Middle School is also located just north of the school. Its other feeder school is Banded Peak School, located in Bragg Creek.
