West Carleton Secondary School is a high school situated in the rural west end of Ottawa, Ontario. The school is under the jurisdiction of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. West Carleton Secondary School opened its door to students in September of 1988. It serves the rural West Carleton Community and more urban Kanata areas such as Morgan's Grant and Shirley's Brook. As a composite school of approximately 700 students and 60 staff, it offers a full range of program opportunities to is students. With consistently high scores in both Board Wide and Provincial standardized tests, students enjoy a stimulating and challenging academic environment as well as an opportunity to participate in a large variety of optional programs. The school is situated on a large property on Dunrobin Road with access to 107 acres (0.4 km²) of forest, field and wetland and the school incorporates its unique location into its academic program through field trips, outdoor education and the use of its 'outdoor classroom' environment.

Students come from the communities of Morgan's Grant, Constance Bay, Carp, Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn, Dunrobin, Galetta, Shirleys Bay and the area connecting these communities.

A full range of Technology courses, including the new 'Technical Internship Program' is available. Grade 9 students can choose an Integrated Technology course and students can select Transportation, Construction or Communication Technology in grades ten to twelve.

Recently there was a fire in the school's auto shop. Everyone's childhood dreams of their school burning down (almost) came true. The thing everyone was asking the next day was: "Did anyone die? I hope so."
