École secondaire publique Louis-Riel (Louis Riel secondary school) opened in the fall of 1980. The name Louis Riel was chosen by the students in 1981.

Phase 1 of the school's construction finished in 1980, accommodating 250 students from the Gloucester region in the east end of Ottawa. Phase 2 was completed in 1982 featuring the school gymnasiums, cafeteria, and science and tech labs.

In 2003, a new annex was added, to accommodate grade 7 and 8 students. The school had previously only accommodated students from grades 9 through 12.

The school now serves approximately 1100 students.

Dome

In 2005, a 12,328m² dome, North America’s largest air supported fabric structurecite web |author=Yeadon Air Supported Structures|url=http://www.yeadondomes.com/sub/newsletters/newsletters_03_2005.htm |title=Yeadon's Most Recent Successful Project March 2005|date=2005-03-15|accessdate=2006-09-11] , opened to the public. The dome's construction was a joint project by the Ottawa Lions Track & Field Club and the CEPEO. Built to cover the school's existing track, the dome made it possible for Louis-Riel to offer a new Sports program to the region's students, in addition to providing extra track and field training facilities to the Ottawa Lions.

The dome contains:
* 4 lanes of 400m and 6 lanes of 110m running track
* a full size sport field (which can be divided into 3 smaller fields)
* an activity/meeting room
* 8 change rooms
* weight training room
