Schools
There are three main primary schools in the greater Dennistoun area (excluding Haghill): Golfhill Primary, originally located on Circus Drive but now housed within the confines of Whitehill Secondary School (the original building still stands, although rather derelict. It was built upon the site of a filled quarry and this has led to significant structural problems), Alexandra Parade in Armadale St and St Denis' in Meadowpark St. The only Secondary School in the area is Whitehill Secondary which is mainly fed into by pupils from Golfhill, Alexandra Parade, Haghill and a few from St James's. As it is a non-denominational school, most of the pupils from the Roman Catholic St Denis' go to St Mungo's located in the Gallowgate.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought up under monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“Our good schools today are much better than the best schools of yesterday. When I was your age and a pupil in school, our teachers were our enemies.
Can any thing ... be more painful to a friendly mind, than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relator or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
