With the opening of a new Richmond High School on Foster Road (now Minoru Boulevard) in 1952, the original facility on Cambie Road became Cambie Junior Secondary School, serving Grades 7 to 10.

"[2] In 1969, money was appropriated to expand the school,[3] including addition of a chemistry lab.

[citation needed] During the Royal Family's visit to Vancouver in 1971, the band from Cambie Junior Secondary school played God Save the Queen while the Union Jack was hoisted.
