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'.

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 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. The idea of an expansion to the school had been put forth, and is currently completed. The expansion was completed in September 2007.

Expansion

All Saints Catholic High School quickly became too crowded as more people moved into the developing area. The expansion was built primarily for students in Grade 7 and 8 so that they could have their "own part" of the school. However, some high school classes run in the expansion now as well.

Programs

All Saints is known for being a school with a highly regarded drama program. In collaboration with the Art, Dance, and Music departments, the school has put on over 14 musicals and plays in the six years it has been open.
