About École Glenbrook Middle School

Located in New Westminster, a historic and growing community of approximately 55, 000 in the geographic center of British Columbia's Lower Mainland, École Glenbrook Middle School opened in September of 2000.  A middle school comprised of grades six, seven and eight, École Glenbrook is a triple track English and French Immersion school with over 627 students and approximately 60 staff.

École Glenbrook Middle School was named after the area of New Westminster in which it was built, an area that was once home to a brook that fed into the Fraser River near the former British Columbia Penitentiary.  Glenbrook Ravine Park, located across McBride Boulevard to the south and east of the school still bears evidence of this brook.  The neighbourhood surrounding the school, Glenbrook North, also shares this name.

École Glenbrook is a community school and was built in partnership with the City of New Westminster.  The City has created Terry Hughes Park adjacent to the school.  The park's playing fields and the school's gymnasium and facilities are used cooperatively by students and by community-based athletic organizations.  Terry Hughes was a courageous young man who, in November 1959, passed away at the tender age of 18 attempting to save a young girl from drowning in the Fraser River.

École Glenbrook Middle School (EGMS) is fed by students from four elementary schools, F.W. Howay, Hume Park, Richard McBride and Herbert Spencer.  It receives students from across New Westminster into its early French Immersion and Late French Immersion programs.  EGMS students move on to New Westminster Secondary School when they begin grade nine.
