Frank Maddock High School is a public high school located in the town of Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada.
Organization
[edit]Frank Maddock is part of the Wild Rose School Division No. 66.[1] The school educates around 500 students in grades 10–12.[2] The grade 12 enrollment for 2011–2012 was 177.[3] Most students come from the junior high schools of Wild Rose School Division and the majority live in Drayton Valley or the surrounding Brazeau County.
The school had a performance rating of 4.5/10 and was ranked 204 out of 253 Alberta high schools, by the Fraser Institute, for the 2019 school year.[3]
Athletics
[edit]Volleyball, basketball, badminton, cross country, golf, curling, rugby, football, handball and a track team are all offered at Frank Maddock. In the summer, the school holds NBC Camps (which provide overnight athletics programs).[4]
The school hosted the 2013 ASAA Cross Country Provincial Championships.[5]
Facilities
[edit]This is Drayton Valley's largest school with an area of 95,000 sq. ft.[2] A government infrastructure survey, carried out in July 2000, reported that the school required major modernization.[6] The school is now expanding the facilities with the addition of a learning commons area. The design was produced by school alumnus Madison Janzen.[7] The school incorporates a vocational education wing.[2] This contains the cosmetology lab (for student stylists)[8] and fabrication studies (including welding).[9]
