History
Archbishop O'Leary opened in 1960 when Edmonton had a population of nearly 270,000.[3] The school underwent a major, multi-million-dollar modernization renovation beginning in 2014, with full completion by late 2019. The modernization of the school included significant enhancements to classrooms and facilities, along with the addition of “The Hub” - which was transformed from a courtyard into a large cafeteria and student gathering space.[4]
