History

The school was inaugurated October 20, 1994. In its first year as a high school, ESC Franco-Cité had 150 9th Grade students enrolled. It is estimated that more than 1150 students are enrolled at Franco-Cité for September 2009. In 2004, the school started accepting Grade 7 and 8 students, instead of beginning with the usual Grade 9. The school has seen many different incarnations, from the original minor seminary, or Séminaire de Mazenod, run by the Oblate missionaries of Mary Immaculate as a grades 9 to 11 preparatory adjunct to their juniorate, the Juniorat du Sacré-Coeur, on the University of Ottawa campus, to sharing its premises with the Centre Jules-Léger, an adult school for the mentally-challenged, from old, dusty portables to a now beautiful redesigned building with added space for the two years added to the official high school experience. The seminary used to have a chapel on the second floor of the school's western wing. It was turned into a library when it became Collège Samuel-Genest. The seminary used to have an ice rink where the library and cafeteria now stand.
