Perth High School

Perth High School is a six-year, non-denominational comprehensive secondary school in Perth, Scotland. Established in 1950 at Gowans Terrace, the school features a post-war prefabricated structure of a type that 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. The 1971 Perth High School building consists of a complex centred around a four-storey main teaching block, and stands in extensive grounds occupying a position on a hill overlooking Oakbank Road and Viewlands Road West. Construction began in 2023, on a brand new, modern teaching facility on the site due for completion in August 2025. The new facility will have a capacity for 1600 pupils, and 140 teaching staff, and feature a 3G sports pitch, multi-use games area, and a cycle pump track. The old building is scheduled to be demolished upon the opening of the new facility. An end-of-school Open Evening was held on 19 June 2025 to celebrate the 50-year history of the 1971 building. Former pupils were invited back for a tour, barbecue and live music entertainment. The 1971 Perth High School closed to pupils on 24 June 2025. Pupils returned to the new building in August 2025.
