Cardinal Carter was established in 1989, commencing operation for grades eight and nine at Our Lady of the Annunciation elementary school. Once construction of the school was completed, service boundaries were defined by the school board to alleviate overcrowding of other Roman Catholic schools in the region, notably St. Robert and St. Elizabeth high schools in Thornhill, and Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Newmarket. It takes its name after Cardinal Gerald Emmett Carter, former Archbishop of Toronto. It is also sometimes confused with Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts.
The school is located on a private campus directly across the street from the York Catholic District School Board. It has numerous elementary feeder schools within its service boundaries:
- Aurora: Holy Spirit Catholic Elementary School, Light of Christ Catholic Elementary School, Our Lady of Grace Catholic Elementary School, St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School
