Citadel High School is a Canadian high school located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The school opened in September 2007 on the site of the former Bell Road Campus of the Nova Scotia Community College. Its location bordering Bell Road, Trollope Street, and Ahern Avenue is adjacent to the Halifax Common and immediately west of Citadel Hill, a National Historic Site from which the school derives its name.
Citadel High School was formed from a merger of two older schools: Queen Elizabeth High School and Saint Patrick's High School, opened in 1942 and 1954 respectively.
The planned construction of the new school was initially announced by the Province of Nova Scotia on 12 June 2003. Designed to replace Queen Elizabeth High School and St. Patrick's High School, the school would be located on the site of the Halifax campus of the NSCC, which would subsequently be relocated to a new facility on the Dartmouth waterfront. On 31 March 2005, the HRSB announced the new name of the school, "Citadel", which was selected in a vote among other suggestions including "Halifax Central", "Willow Tree" (for the nearby traffic interchange of the same name), "Patrician Elizabethan", "Ahern Bell", "Gardens North", "Peninsula", "Garrison", as well as numerous famous Haligonians including Vince Coleman, Anna Leonowens, Robert Stanfield, Portia White, Samuel Cunard, Robert McCall, Joseph Howe, Edward Cornwallis, Richard Bulkeley, and Alexander Graham Bell.
