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 centre, one Cafeteria with stage, 3 canteens serving students daily, three Science Labs (Biology, Chemistry & Physics), five Computer Labs (2 regular labs, 2 classroom labs, one staff lab), a multipurpose auditorium with stage, and a library. It also has two workshops for technology/carpentry classes, as well as a foods lab.
The school is currently the newest in the province, and largest outside of St. John's, with the largest student population in the province.
