Castlemilk High School is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school located in Castlemilk, Glasgow, Scotland. It was established in 1990 from a merger of the district's two existing nondenominational high schools due to falling population figures, Glenwood Secondary (built 1958, which closed and was demolished, later replaced by a business park) and Grange Secondary (built 1968, which was used as the new campus for Castlemilk High). [1] The campus was rebuilt in 2001 to a design for fewer pupils than its predecessor. [1]
