Notre Dame High School (Ottawa)
list of Ottawa schools
Notre Dame High School is a Catholic high school in Ottawa's west operated by the Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board. The school is one of the first in the area to use a uniform and one of the first in the board to ban the use of cell phones and MP3 players on the campus.
The school is mainly two storeys throughout, except for the northeast corner where it features a basement in which the classrooms are almost exclusively for mathematics. It has an auditorium which also serves as the West-End Family Cinema on selected evenings. It used to feature a single gymnasium in the centre of the school, but an extra one was built and opened in 2002-2003. Sports teams play under the moniker/nickname "Notre Dame Eagles" (formerly the Notre Dame Silver Eagles). The present site at 710 Broadview was once the site of Highland Park Technical School. Notre Dame High School moved into the 710 Broadview site during the mid–90's, from their old site on the north west corner of the Holland Ave–Queensway intersection. That site is now Fisher Park Public School.
The high school operates on a standard semestered system for grades 9-12, but the grade 7 and 8 component is, as of 2006/07 school year, on a 6–period, 5–day cycle with phys-ed every day.

“No man rises so high as he knows not whither he goes.”
—Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
