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. There are five houses; Kinfauns, Huntingtower, Elcho, Balmanno, and Pitheavlis.

—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Miss Caswell is an actress, a graduate of the Copacabana school of dramatic arts.”
