Whitehill Secondary School is a mixed, non-denominational state school in Glasgow, Scotland. This mainstream school is located in the eastern suburb of Dennistoun and is home to students aged 11-18. Whitehill Secondary School is associated with the Learning Community, which includes local nursery, primary and special schools. Whitehill is well-staffed, with 68 staff members and a pupil population of around 485.
The school was founded in 1891 by John Neilson Cuthbertson, chairman of the Glasgow School Board. The school was demolished and rebuilt in 1977 at its present location on Onslow Drive. It was then refurbished and modernised in 2002 as part of a Glasgow City Council project. Whitehill Secondary School now shares a campus with a public swimming pool and sports centre.
