History
The original school was founded in 1909, and was located on Binnie Street, Gourock. Robert Fulton, who had previously been head master of the Eastern School, was brought in to be the head master of the newly formed Gourock High School.
In 1963, it moved to Tower Hill where it included a primary school department.
Gourock High School closed in 2011, when it and Greenock Academy merged in a new school in the Bayhill area of Gourock. The new school, on the site previously occupied by St Columba's High School, Gourock, is known as Clydeview Academy.
