It is a member of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and is connected to both St. Mary's Parish and St. Annes. Its trustee is Mr. Ken Adamson, Mrs. Linda Zanella and principal is Mr. Thomas Wisnicki. The school enrolls about 1600 students and is the only school in the Dufferin-Peel board to have the Cisco Systems Program available to students.

Cardinal Leger opened in 1976, originally named St. Stephens. The school expanded in 1980 and underwent major renovations in 1995 in order to attain its current modern appearance. The school offers a large variety of extracurricular programs, including HOPE (Helping Other People Everyday), the multi-cultural show, an extensive music program, dramatic arts program, as well as various special events such as Thinkfast and the traditional Christmas Basket drive, which are both run and developed by students every year. The school also offers an Accelerated Reader program as part of the English department.
