École secondaire publique De La Salle opened in the fall of 1971 with students from Mont St-Joseph convent, Rideau Street convent and Académie De La Salle. Just like Académie De La Salle, École secondaire publique De La Salle was named after Saint Jean-Baptiste de la Salle.
In 1982, a study committee recommends the creation of an enrichment centre in Ottawa for gifted students. The committee also recommends that this centre be created and integrated at École secondaire publique De La Salle.
In 1983, De La Salle opened le Centre de Douance (a program for gifted students) and le Centre d'excellence artistique (a program geared towards artistic achievers). De La Salle became the first school in Ontario to offers those programs in French.
In 2003, De La Salle opened its doors to Grades 7-8. Most of the second floor of the school is exclusively for Grades 7-8.
The Centre d'excellence artistique regroups 8 concentrations related to arts from Grade 9 to Grade 12, and a pre-concentration in Grade 7 & 8 to prepare students to the arts concentrations. The concentrations are :
The Centre d'excellence artistique's concentrations received a lot of awards and won a lot of contests. Most recently, the Vocal Music Senior classes won the first place at the 16th National Vocal Music Contest of CBC/Radio-Canada.
