Fisher Park Public School is a public middle school in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, offering English and French immersion education for grades seven and eight.
Fisher Park was originally built in 1949 as the city's fifth public high school, to serve Ottawa's west end, but was closed in 1987 in a controversial decision by the Ottawa school board.[1] The school was reopened in September 1994 as a middle school, feeding students into Nepean High School and Glebe Collegiate Institute.
Between 1987 and 1994 the school was the site of Notre Dame High School which is part of the Ottawa Carleton Catholic School Board. Notre Dame relocated in 1994 to a site on Broadview Avenue.
The school's sports team is known as the Fisher Phoenix.
The building is shared with the Summit Alternative School and the Fisher Park Community Centre.
Barbara Brockmann, a teacher at the school, was a recipient of the 2002 Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History.[1]
