# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Night the High School Burned
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Apr, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On a Wednesday morning in April 1980, Leanne, a Grade 11 student at Prince Charles Secondary School, called her friend. “Maureen,” she said, “there’s no school today.”

“Why not?” asked Maureen.

“Because there’s no school.”

At about 2:00 AM the night before, fire had broken out in the thirty-year-old building. Within an hour, the structure was fully engulfed and all firefighters could do was hose down nearby residences. By dawn, the school – one of the finest in the Kootenays; home to award-winning band, drama, and art programs; producer of provincial championship sports teams; provider of a vast array of academic and trades programs – was gone.

April 29, 2025 is the forty-fifth anniversary of that fire. Join us as we explore the history of high schools in the Creston Valley and unveil previously unseen film footage of the fire.
