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 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 original 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. Demolition began on the old building in 2023, with a brand new, modern teaching facility on the site due for completion in 2025. The new facility will have a capacity for 1600 pupiles, and 140 teaching staff, and feature a 3G sports pitch, multi-use games area, and a cycle pump track.[2]
