Confederation High School

The former Confederation High School

Confederation High School was an Ottawa area high school from 1967 to 1999. The school was a Carleton Board of Education facility that covered the southern portion of Nepean. This included the community of Barrhaven across the Greenbelt from the school. Barrhaven grew rapidly and eventually the majority of Confederation's students were coming from that area. It was thus decided to build a new high school in Barrhaven, which became John McCrae Secondary School. In 1999 Confederation was thus closed. The building is still owned by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and is used for offices, community events, and sports.

The school was attended by Jesse Palmer, star of "The Bachelor" and currently a college football analyst with ESPN, during the years 1992-1996.
