Glashan Middle School is an Ottawa, Ontario junior high school teaching grade seven and grade eight. It is located in the Centretown neighbourhood between Kent Street and Bank Street.

Contents

It was founded as an elementary school for the small community of Orangeville, to the south of Ottawa. It was known as Hugh Street School, as Kent Street was then named Hugh Street. In 1889 the town was amalgamated with Ottawa, and its one room school house became part of the Ottawa school board, as this part of the city was rapidly growing in 1889, the one-room one-teacher school was overcrowded with a total of 99 students. Thus, in 1897, four new rooms were added, and in 1905 another four. The school was soon renamed Glashan PS, after the Chief Inspector of Ottawa Public Schools from 1876 to 1910, J.C. Glashan. The school was expanded again in 1922 and once more 1931, when it became one amongst a group of Ottawa schools to switch to the pioneering intermediate school format, the school officially became Glashan MS, and has remained a junior high school ever since.

In 1979-1980 the old school was demolished and the current one erected. This was one of only a few Ottawa Board of Education projects in that era of shrinking demographics. The school today offers a number of programs. It is home to gifted, core French, late French immersion, and English language learning and teaching programs. It is also well known for its excellent volleyball teams. One disadvantage of the school's downtown location is that there is no room for a playing field attached to the school, and students are forced to walk two blocks to a field south of the Queensway.
