Perth High School

Perth High School is a six-year, non-denominational comprehensive secondary school in Perth, Scotland. Established in 1950 at Gowans Terrace in a post-war prefabricated structure of a type which had not previously been used for any large school in Scotland. The school relocated to its present location in 1971, two years after the opening in 1969 of the adjacent Oakbank Primary School. It stands in extensive grounds occupying a position on a hill overlooking Oakbank Road and Viewlands Road West.

School building

The building consists of a complex centred on a four-storey main teaching block. The school gives particular emphasis to environmental issues and the grounds contain a number of specialised environmental project areas. A climbing wall has also been built which pupils have access to at lunchtimes and after school.

There are five houses; Kinfauns, Huntingtower, Elcho, Balmanno, and Pitheavlis.

Notable pupils
gollark: I really love the interaction of at least three problems here.
gollark: Why is the framing format so convoluted?
gollark: How does *any* of this *ever* work?
gollark: I have unfortunately had to interact with email for my email to RSS bridge.
gollark: Make sure to do all your checks at least 3 times so there's redundancy in case one is removed by compiler optimisations.
