Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School is a Grades 9–12 catholic secondary school in Guelph, Ontario, Canada and is part of the Wellington Catholic District School Board.

Founded in 1965 as a Junior School for Catholic students, it became a full high school in the mid-1980s. When the original Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School closed down in the mid-1990s, Lourdes inherited many of Bishop Mac's students, including Guelph Storm players, which led to a substantial increase in the school's population and the subsequent construction of a new wings in the early 1990s. Today, with the completion of the new Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School, most of the students come from the west end and some northern parts of Guelph.

The school motto is represented in the school crest as the Book, the Cross, and the Flame, respectively.

Students of St. Francis, St. Joseph (except boundary area south of Speed River), and St. Peter in Guelph as well as St. Mary in Elora continue their Catholic education at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School.

The Student Senate Executive comprises 6 executive members who serve to represent the students and provide them with an array of social events.

There is also the Arts Council, composed of various members who head up music, visual arts, and drama activities. This council also runs various functions throughout the school.

The Athletic Council is made up of a few executive members and some helpers. This council looks after the athletic events in school life. Intramorals, school teams, jerseys, and spititwear are all a part of this department.
