Our Lady of the Rockies High School is operated by the Calgary Catholic School District. It is a composite high school and one of the largest in Calgary, serving just under 1300 students in the communities of south Calgary, Alberta. It is located at 111 Haddon Road SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The school was originally named Bishop Grandin High School, after Bishop Vital-Justin Grandin. The Calgary Catholic School District decided to rename the school in June 2021 following the 2021 Canadian Indian residential schools gravesite discoveries, due to the role Bishop Grandin played in the creation of the indigenous residential school system.[1] On 28 June 2021 the school was temporarily renamed Haysboro Catholic High School as new names were being considered.[2]
On October 6, 2021 Our Lady of the Rockies High School was the new permanent name chosen to replace Bishop Grandin High School.
The program offerings include all of the academic disciplines, an Advanced Placement (A.P.) program, extensive art, drama, choir and music programs including an elite marching band, an Extended French program, an Integrated Occupation program, a Registered Apprentice program, International Languages, an Active Life Skills physical education program, and an extensive Career and Technology Studies program.
