Networking

HSOG Community

Our networking calendar is filled with opportunities to experience what our community has to offer.

Delighted to support HSOG in memory of my father, who spent many happy years attending High School events for over 20 years, and for his three daughters, all proud High School former pupils. Sursum Semper!

Jordan Saunders, Class of 1999

The High School gave me so much more than an outstanding level of education and learning. It instilled in me so many of the other fundamental basics you need for the complex journey through adult life. I can confidently say that my years at High School have stood me in great good stead for the past sixty years. For that I will always be grateful.

Ron Neil, Class of 1961

Three generations of the Docherty family have gone through or, at present, are going through their education at this wonderful establishment, and all of us are extremely proud to call ourselves High School men, girls and boy. 

Ian Docherty, Class of 1957)

Even though I have moved abroad to the United States, I remain in touch with many of my fellow classmates, enjoying their advice and views in person and via the wonders of social media. The bonds we made at the High School, and the tradition we share through our experiences, continue to this day.

Douglas Borthwick, Class of 1987

Our period of schooling at Glasgow High School was deeply rewarding and equipped me later to meet all the challenges of working in Mexico, Italy, South Africa, Thailand and Venezuela and now India.

John Shaw, Class of 1966

The High School has given much to our family over many years. Our son and daughter are former pupils who benefited greatly from the School's high educational standards and the care given to the social development of its pupils. I have had the privilege of being a member of The Board of Governors and its Chairman and been in a position to 'give back' in that role to the development and governance of one of the leading schools in Scotland.

Sir Michael Bond, Former Parent and Former Chair of the Board of Governors

I am very grateful for the outstanding education I received (and greatly enjoyed!) at the Glasgow High School for Girls. I'm thankful, too, for the friendships made at school which are still going strong after 70 years. Glad to make a contribution to the Bursary Fund.

Myra Cathcart, Class of 1958

Words cannot describe what The High School of Glasgow means to our family. Our son joined in the Senior School and this marked a significant turning point in his life. Every aspect from academic to sport, social to pastoral has been truly excellent and I would say that Scott joining the High School really was life-changing for both him and us.

Lynne Paul, Former Parent

People just seem to genuinely care about you and your life’s trajectory. Sharing the world of HSOG is a pretty unbreakable bond, I’ve come to realise, and I’m so grateful to have such a great community in my life.

Charlotte Gilbride, Class of 2015

I owe a great deal to The High School of Glasgow and I am privileged to be a former pupil. The School instilled in me a strong sense of public service, and gave me the skills and self-confidence to pursue an interesting and rewarding career.

Lydia Strachan, Class of 2000

Congratulations to all involved in the wonderful 900 Campaign. I have very fond memories of my time at HSOG. It is amazing to be part of a school with such a long and rich history. If only I lived in the UK I would have sent my son to the same school. Keep up the good work. Sursum Semper.

Claire Scanlon, Class of 1989)
