History

The school was founded not as an independent entity but as an expansion of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute. In 1919 the Adolescent School Attendance Act had made attending school compulsory until age 16, leading to a dramatic rise in secondary school enrolment. The OCI had outgrown its existing facility (now Lisgar Collegiate Institute) and constructed a new facility on what was then the outskirts of the city. The construction of "Ottawa Collegiate Institute, Glebe Building" was a slow process, and classes began in 1922 before it was complete, causing some inconveniences for students. Symbols of the OCI continue to adorn the entrance to the school. The building was officially opened in 1923. Year 1919 (MCMXIX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar). ... Lisgar Collegiate Institute Ottawa Collegiate Institute c. ...

The now-legendary rivalry between Glebe and Lisgar Collegiates commenced soon after the division of the OCI. In one memorable incident, a banquet was held at the Glebe building that included student clubs from both schools. In the middle of the meal, a food fight erupted between the two groups and only an enraged Principal could persuade students to put down their rolls.
