SACRED HEART CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
Stittsville, Ontario

2002 - Recognized Value Award, Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.

Sacred Heart Catholic High School is the fourth school adapted from a prototype high school designed by Edward J. Cuhaci and Associates Architects Inc. Award-winning schools are:

• Mother Teresa Catholic High School (1999), Nepean, Ontario
• St. Peter Catholic High School (1995), Cumberland, Ontario
• Holy Trinity Catholic High School (1990), Kanata, Ontario

This fourth school retains the design features of the previous schools. These features include the centrally-lit atrium, which floods daylight into interior spaces, advanced technology in HVAC systems, and highly computer-oriented, specialized, teaching spaces. The design of Sacred Heart Catholic High School was further enhanced by including a large 700-seat, multi-purpose auditorium, which serves not only as the school's auditorium, but also as a theatre for the Stittsville community.

In 2003, a three-storey, 3,015 square-metre addition was built to accommodate the growing student population. The addition consisted of classrooms and science labs.
