Champlain High school is a former school in the Westboro Beach neighborhood in Ottawa, Ontario, officially opened in 1963 and would provide English and French secondary education to the region until its closure in 1997. Champlain is notable for its controversial transition into a full French school in 1969. 281 Lanark Ave is now Centre Jules-Léger, a secondary school for impaired individuals.
History[edit]
Champlain High School was constructed in the Westboro Beach area in 1963 as the demand for high schools hit an all time high. In 1n 1967 a six classroom addition was added to the schools north west end. The school was designed by Hazelgrove Lithwick, Lambert and Sim with granite fieldstone walls, massing and judicious splashes of orange, Champlain shares this architectural style with Brookfield High School[1].By the fall of 1964, Champlain had 800 students registered. Champlain had a new combined two-year commercial and arts course "which requires only basic achievements in typing, layout and some office equipment operation", though some successful students moved into the four-year commercial course. The technology and trades program at the school was expanding, adding a course in plumbing. A boys cooking class during after school hours had 50 students in it.[2] Champlain was placed very close to Fisher Park High School which would contribute to its demise. After June of 1974, the school continued in operation as École Secondaire Champlain into the 1990s until its closure in 1997, in which it would be purchased by Centre Jules-Léger which still resides there today.[3]
French Transition[edit]
It was announced out of the blue on Thursday December 11th, 1969, that Champlain High would transition into becoming a French-only school. Legislation passed by the Ontario government in 1968 required local school boards to provide high school education in the French language where there is sufficient demand for it,[4] It would not fully transition until 1973. English students still attending the school at that time were allowed to finish their secondary schooling there.
