Notre Dame High School is a public Roman Catholic girls secondary school located on Observatory Road in Glasgow, Scotland, and founded in 1897.
In 1894 Archbishop Eyre of Glasgow invited the Sisters of Notre Dame to come from the Mother House in Liverpool to establish a community in Glasgow. The Notre Dame Training College was opened in 1895 at Dowanhill. In 1897 Notre Dame School was opened, with a roll of 24 pupils, instructed by two teachers. By 1912, the number of pupils had risen to 193. Overcrowding led to the construction of a new building in 1953. Proposals to close the school in 1987 were defeated at the time.[1]. The former high school building and adjoining primary school building and church were damaged in a fire on 12 June 2010.[2]
Alumni include the actress Helena Carroll and the singer/actress Clare Grogan. [Colette O'Neil(McCrossan)]Actress/Director
