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 modern complex centred on a multi-storey main teaching block. The school's new development has new airport styled seating areas throughout the concourse. The concourse area has also been split into two parts separating the juniors from third and fourth years and the new extension to the front of the school has meant there is a new social area for the seniors. The campus contains spacious grounds, as well as playing fields. 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.
