Not so, as I recall.  The press that I saw when the whole Keegstra issue
came to light indicated that it was the parents of a student at the school
who complained rather loudly.  It's been a wonder to me, though, why it
did take so many years for someone to finally do something.  The end product
is hundreds of Albertans who think that there really is a conspiracy to
take over the world. (which actually I would find very funny since 
Keegstra's comments are so absurd, except I'm jewish....)

What Keegstra's replacement should have done was get the students to do some
genuine investigative researching to find out who really does control the
banks and the press, and how the electoral system in Canada works.  This last
point leaves me totally amazed that any high school group could be taught
that the PM (aka Pierre) was put in office for umpteen years not by the
voters, but by a zionist conspiracy(?!?!?).  Also, ownership of banks, newspapers,
tv, etc etc etc is all a matter of public record, so it would be easy enough to 
get the students to convince themselves of the facts.
 (although Keegstra, like Zundel, wouldn't know a
fact from fantasy if it was proven conclusively 1000 different ways).
