History
It was previously Rosemere Protestant High School controlled by the Protestant Regional School Board of North Island. In 1967 this district and Commission scolaire regional Mille Isles, a Catholic school district, made an agreement to send all English speaking students to Rosemere Protestant High and French speaking students to Mille Isles Regional Catholic High School, regardless of religious background. At the time Quebec school districts were divided among religious lines instead of language.[6]
In 1971 the school received a number of French-speaking students who wished to learn English to a higher degree. At the time such was allowed in Quebec.[7]
