Stirling High School

The High School of Stirling, which is one of Scotland's oldest schools, has been situated at its
present Torbrex Farm Road location since February 2008, having moved from its old site in the
'old school' as it is now known that now lies 'across the way' ready to be demolished.

Much of the best of the past has been retained. Prefects, for example, are still appointed from
the senior school, just as they were centuries ago, and this position of trust and responsibility is
highly regarded by potential employers.

The annual prize giving ceremony, which recognises student's effort, academic and sporting
achievements, has been the climax of the school year for generations. At this ceremony our top
academic achiever is awarded the school's highest accolade: the Randolph Medal.

"Tempori Parendum" - Change with the times

However, despite being justly proud of its thousand-year-old traditions, history and rich heritage, the
school is firmly focused on the present-and future. Pupils are just as likely to be found using the schools digital video cameras and scanners to digitise graphic material, as exploring the past. The school boasts modern science laboratories, sports and engineering workshops and a whole school network of 200 PCs
all linked to the Internet via a 2 megabit leased line.

The High School is, in essence, a harmonious blend of a rich past and a modern outlook which well
benefits the school's motto: Tempori Parendum.
