The Ottawa Collegiate Board (OCB) was a public secondary school board in Ottawa until 1970. It was founded in 1843 with the opening of Ottawa Collegiate institute, it would remain the only high school in ottawa until the opening of Ottawa Technical High School in 1916. Ottawa Collegiate Institute would split in two with the split off from their second location (Glebe Collegiate Institute), Ottawa Collegiate Institute was changed to lisgar street collegiate institute (later shorten to Lisgar Collegiate Institute). The boards foundation would cement proper secondary education in Ottawa as it merged with other small school boards creating a more uniform and regulated system. The O.C.B would oversee the construction and erection of many schools throughout the city until its amalgamation with the Ottawa Public Board of Education,The Vanier Board and the Rockcliffe Board in 1970 creating the Ottawa Board of Education. The amalgamation would come as Ontario passed the Fewer School Boards Act.
