Nutana Collegiate is a high school located in the Nutana neighbourhood of central Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, serving students from grades 10 through 12. Nutana was the first public high school in Saskatoon and is part of the Saskatoon Public School Division. The school possesses a significant collection of early Canadian art.
Nutana Collegiate was founded as Saskatoon Collegiate Institute in 1909. The use of "collegiate" in the school's name reflects the school's original curriculum and intended role as a preparatory school for students expecting to attend university and enter professional careers.
The school is located on a parcel of land that was a city park known as the Louise Grounds. The eastern portion of this land is occupied by the school's playfields and is now known as Chief Darcy Bear Park.
The Classic French Renaissance style building was designed by Regina architects Storey & Van Egmond. The school provided the first public meeting place in Saskatoon and during its early years provided space for the Saskatoon Normal School. During 1910–12 the University of Saskatchewan held classes during construction of its own campus. The school was also home to Saskatoon's first public art gallery.
Between 2009 and 2012 the school underwent a $14 million renovation that included general building upgrades, new windows, and classroom and auditorium renovations. In 2013 the project received an Architectural Heritage Award presented by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.
