Dr. Charles Best Secondary School, is a public co-educational public high school located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. The school is named for Canadian physician Charles Best, one of the researchers responsible for the discovery of insulin as a treatment for diabetes. The school opened on March 22, 1971 as a Junior Secondary School serving students in Grades 8 through 10, and became a full secondary school (grades 9 through 12) in 2000.[2]
