History and characteristics

Until recently, the City of Corner Brook had two high schools: Herdman Collegiate and Regina High School. When the new Corner Brook Regional High project was announced by Premier Danny Williams, all students attended Regina High School under the name Corner Brook Regional High while Herdman was under complete re-construction. Renovations were completed in early 2009, and students were moved to the new Corner Brook Regional High School.

The school includes an Olympic sized Gymnasium, fitness center, one Cafeteria with stage, 3 canteens serving students daily, three Science Labs (Biology, Chemistry & Physics), five Computer Labs (two regular labs, two classroom labs, one staff lab), an acoustically treated multipurpose music room/auditorium with stage, and a library. It also has two workshops for technology/carpentry classes, as well as a food lab.

The school is one of the largest schools outside of St. John's, which has the largest student population in the province.

The school was the host of the 2011 Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC), which brought nearly 1000 students to the school. CSLC 2011 Website. Also, the education facility recently hosted the first-ever provincial GSA Conference with approximately 125 students in attendance.

Corner Brook Regional High has had five graduating students selected as Loran Scholars, the largest number for any school in the province.^[2]
