École secondaire catholique Père-Philippe-Lamarche (transl. Father Père-Philippe-Lamarche Catholic Secondary School, commonly shortened to ESC Père-Philippe-Lamarche or ESCPPL), is a

Scarborough
.

The school was named after Father Père-Philippe-Lamarche, a Catholic clergyman who moved to Toronto in 1887 and founded the city's first predominantly French school.[1]

History

Before 1998, Metropolitan Separate School Board (

City of Scarborough.[note 1] The school board's Section de langue française unit operated one secondary school in North York, École secondaire catholique Monseigneur-de-Charbonnel. In 1998, the school board's English and French language units were split into two, with the French language unit merging with several other regional French units to form Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud (renamed Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir
in 2017).

The new school board assumed control of Monseigneur-de-Charbonnel, which remained Toronto's only French first language separate secondary school until 2012, when the school board opened École secondaire catholique Saint-Frère-André in the western portion of Toronto. Prior to the opening of ESC Père-Philippe-Lamarche, the school board did not operate a secondary school in Scarborough, the easternmost district of Toronto.

In April 2011, Conseil scolaire Catholique du Centre-sud purchased property on Eglinton Avenue East from the Toronto Catholic District School Board. The 1.922 hectares (4.75 acres) property was a vacant lot, designated as "Site 19" by TCDSB and was formerly reserved for future use.[2] Conseil scolaire Catholique du Centre-sud began building a new secondary school on the property in 2015.[3]

Lamarche was officially opened on 5 September 2017 in a ceremony involving

Archbishop of Toronto.[1] The new two-storey school was designed by IBI Group
.
