North Delta Secondary School, when it was opened in 1957, was originally a secondary school designed to accommodate approximately 550 students.

In the early 1970s, due to new construction and population increases in the community, Burnsview Junior Secondary and Sands Junior Secondary joined Delview Junior Secondary as the three feeder schools to North Delta.

Until the opening of Seaquam Secondary School in the Sunshine Hills area in 1977, all senior secondary students in the North Delta area were graduates of North Delta Secondary School.

In October 2003, after two years of major construction and renovation, NDSS had a ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opened the new North Delta Secondary School.

North Delta Secondary School is now capable of carrying an enrollment of 1350 students.
