From Grade 9 to 12, Stafford students would then attend one of the remaining secondary schools in the Langley area. As a result, the Stafford community has rallied to save its school. In an effort to save Stafford, students have exercised their right to protest. A march to L.S.S. from H.D.S.S. was held to get their point across regarding the safety of students walking to and from school along busy roads. Additionally students held a walk-out en masse which took them to the school board office. Upon their arrival, Stafford students sat in silence to protest their silenced voices.
