History

First established in 1961, this school was constructed on a land of another school, the Académie La Salle, demolished by a fire in 1914.

The school is named in honor of Marie-Rose Durocher, born Eulalie Durocher (1811-1849), a quebecer catholic educator who founded the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. She was beatified (bestows title « Blessed ») by the Roman Catholic Church by decree of Pope John Paul II in 1982.

It contains mainly regular classrooms, rooms for computer labs, science labs, a cafeteria, a student café, a library, a Coop, a weight room and an auditorium. The school also comprises a small gymnasium and, outside, a basketball court and a soccer field.
