Handsworth Secondary School

Handsworth Secondary School is a high school in the district of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and part of School District 44 North Vancouver. As of September 2025, the school reported 1,640 students enrolled in Grades 8–12, the largest school in the North Vancouver School District. On January 15, 2018, it was announced that construction of a new school to replace the existing 57 year old building was expected to start in 2019. The construction was delayed and started in March 2020. The new school began operation on February 7, 2022.

The school has had trouble securing a sports field since its rebuild. A grass field opened in March 2024, though it was quickly closed again in June due to frequent flooding. The field re-opened for September 2024, though it still suffered from inundation during rainfall. In October 2025, construction began on a turf field, which is scheduled for completion in late 2026.

Handsworth Secondary School is within proximity to the Upper Mackay Creek Park. It is also located within 5 minutes' drive of Grouse Mountain to the north and the Capilano Suspension Bridge in the south. The school is accessible via Capilano Road, exit 14 off BC Highway 1. The nearest public transit routes are TransLink Buses #232 and #236 which stop at the corner of Capilano and Handsworth Road, a short walk from the school. Bus route #246 is also reasonably accessible by crossing the Mackay Creek valley.
