École secondaire catholique l'Essor is a publicly funded separate (Catholic), French-language high school located in Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada (formerly St. Clair Beach), established in 1979. It serves the Francophone population of Essex County. The name French: l'Essor, coined by local resident Florence Limoges, is a portmanteau combining "Essex" and "Windsor". French: [[wikt:essor#French|Essor]] also refers to the French word "to take flight". The school belongs to the Conseil scolaire catholique Providence.

The small school participates in a wide variety of local activities in the Francophone community. A notable example is the Franco Bowl, an annual football match against neighboring Windsor's French Catholic high-school, École secondaire E.J. Lajeunesse. The school has a very high percentage of graduates and high test scores.
