Govan High School, 12 Ardnish Street, Glasgow G51 4NB

OS Grid Ref: NS 541652



Govan High School is a 6 year comprehensive secondary school serving the Govan area of Glasgow. It was established in 1910 and the new building on Langlands Road, a magnificent red sandstone edifice, was formally opened on 26th January by Sir Donald McAlister, principal of the University of Glasgow. Pupils did not start till1st February.
A disastrous fire destroyed this building in 1962. The school was then split amongst several locations until the current building, in the Pirie Park, was opened by Anthony Hepper, Chairman of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders on 26th March 1969. This building was refurbished in 2001-02 and formally re-opened by former pupil, Sir Alex Ferguson CBE on 12th September 2002.
The school motto is that of Govan ‘Nihil sine labore’ (Nothing without work) and the aim is ‘Achieving our full potential’. The school colours are red and black and these are reflected in the school uniform which all pupils wear every day.

Many thanks to Iain White, Head teacher, and Ian McCracken, Librarian/Archivist for allowing me access to the school and for providing me with all the information.
