'''Rideau High School''' is an [[Ottawa-Carleton District School Board]] [[high school]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] . It is located at 815 St. Laurent Boulevard in the east end of the city on the edge of [[Vanier, Ontario|Vanier]]. It is located next to the Queen Elizabeth elementary school. The school opened in 1958. It was the second of a series of ten high schools built by the school board to cope with rapidly rising attendance and the [[baby boom]]. The project generated some controversy as the Collegiate Board presented a plan that included an auditorium, double gym, and a cafeteria. The Ottawa Property Owners association objected to these as expensive and unneeded luxuries, and the mayor [[Charlotte Whitton]] agreed. The dispute delayed the construction of the school for some time. |
|||
The school was renovated in the early 1990s at the cost of several million dollars. It is a mixed stream school offering Academic(advanced), Applied(general) and Essential level courses. The school also has a significant [[English language learning and teaching|English as a Second Language]] program, with about 15% of the student population enrolled. Its specialization in ESL programs makes it one of the most multicultural schools in the city. Rideau also has programs for special needs students and strong technological programming. Rideau was designed to hold 1200 students. Today enrolment has fallen to about 560 students. |
|||
The school contains two daycares and adult English programs. |
