Ascension of Our Lord secondary school is located in Malton (part of the city of Mississauga) in Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Dufferin-Peel Board. It was originally established as a Middle School(Junior High School), but was converted to a Secondary School (High School) in the 80's. The school building was expanded at that time to accommodate the extra students, and in the 1990s portable classrooms were added and removed as the student population expanded and contracted. In 2005 the original building was demolished and a new larger structure was built. The facility was opened to students on January 2006.
Ascension Of Our Lord has produced famous alumni which include George Stroumboulopoulos, Olympic Gold Medalist Carlton Chambers, CFNY-FM radio personality Loriann Villani, Olympian Charles Allen, comedian Frank "Trixx" Agyemang
In 2012, the Fraser Institute named Ascension as one of Ontario's fastest improving schools. Although a Catholic school, it is open to and welcomes students from all religious backgrounds. In the community of Malton, it has become the choice of students and parents who seek a high quality education.
