''Not to be confused with All Saints Catholic Secondary School. For other schools with a similar name, see All Saints High School (disambiguation).'' All Saints Catholic High School, opened September 2002, is a secondary school in Kanata, Ontario, a district of Ottawa. The school is located in the Kanata North area of Kanata Lakes and serves the communities of Kanata and West Carleton. The school motto is ''Dei Gratia'', Latin for 'The Grace of God'. Although the names of many saints were suggested, "All Saints" emerged as the clear favourite name for the school. The school colours are silver, blue and burgundy. In 2005, All Saints students chose the Yeti as the school mascot.〔(150 years of Catholic Education in Ottawa-Carleton 1856–2006, Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, 2006 )〕 ==History== The school opened on September 3, 2002. Monsignor Leonard Lunney presided at the official ceremony on behalf of Archbishop Marcel Gervais. The school was built on land which was previously owned by the Whalen family. A mature spruce tree to the west of the school near the soccer field had died off of infection it was plagued in 1945 The high school was designed in 2002 by architect Edward Cuhaci. A similar design was used for Holy Trinity Catholic High School however All Saints increased the number of classrooms on the second floor. All Saints has a chapel, two large gymnasiums, four computer labs, seven science labs, a graphics room, a library, two music rooms, a dance studio, a fitness room, a drama room and an electronics shop. The Home Gymnasium is called "The Summit."〔(150 years of Catholic Education in Ottawa-Carleton 1856–2006, Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, 2006 )〕 The school's first year of operation only saw classes from grade 7 up to and including grade 11 because they did not want to split up Grade 12 classes in their graduating year. In order to prevent over-crowding, the school capped the maximum number of students permitted to attend in the first year. All Saints High School's second year of operation saw classes ranging all the way to grade 12, with population limits beginning to max out. In 2002 All Saints High School adopted St. Elizabeth School in Ottawa as its sister school and has supported it by providing the elementary school with over 4,500 books for its literacy program. In June 2004, the school's first graduation ceremony took place. The class of 2004 built a rock cairn entitled "Cairn of Hope" at the front of the school, into which a time capsule was placed.〔(150 years of Catholic Education in Ottawa-Carleton 1856–2006, Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, 2006 )〕 In its fifth year of operation, All Saints High School installed multiple portables in order to increase the maximum number of students that can be educated at the school, which would later be replaced by the expansion. An expansion to the school to add 30 rooms was completed in September 2007.〔(150 years of Catholic Education in Ottawa-Carleton 1856–2006, Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, 2006 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Saints Catholic High School (Ontario)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
