Walnut Grove Secondary School is located in the community of Walnut Grove in Langley, British Columbia. It has an enrollment of approximately 2000 students, making it the largest school in Langley, as well as extremely overcrowded, and one of the largest schools in the Vancouver region. It strives for excellence in the fields of electronics, drama, athletics, information technology, science and humanities. The athletic programs, led by their mascot Wally the Gator, are among the highest ranking in the province of British Columbia. WGSS also has an extremely good hockey team which runs Brookwoods show every year.
The school has undergone two significant capital projects since its inception, including the latest in 2001 with a new multipurpose room, classrooms, and student common spaces.
