Leaving a legacy

HSOG Community

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.

My Sixth Year was the last year of the High School at Elmbank Street. I am pleased to donate to the Bursary Fund as deserving candidates undoubtedly add to the lifeblood and rounded experience of being a High School pupil.

Ewan Cameron (Class of 1976), bursary donor

The High School provided me with some of my happiest and most cherished memories. It gave me the greatest start I could've asked for and I will be forever grateful. Being able to give back anything is the easiest and smallest of thanks. 

Hollie Baxter (Class of 2015), bursary donor

The Bursary Fund gave me the opportunity to attend the High School and benefit from the invaluable all-round education it provides. My years at the School afforded me such a wide variety of experiences. In addition to an excellent academic education, I was able to play rugby for the 1st XV, perform as Elvis on stage, travel across the world and make lifelong friends. All of this was made possible by the Bursary Fund and the charitable donations of others; for this I am eternally grateful. I am extremely proud to call myself a former pupil and I hope that many more youngsters have the opportunity to flourish in the future.

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

Giving back is the best way to express gratitude for the blessings we've received. We are fortunate to provide our children with a wonderful HSOG education, and it's heartening to support talented students who deserve the same opportunity.

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

Bursaries bring opportunities to many children – including this child, back in the day. I'm delighted to now be able to do my bit and help future generations to benefit from the same opportunities.

Laura Tough (Class of 1995), bursary recipient and now bursary donor

If ever there was a school that was the perfect place for your child, it was The High School of Glasgow for our daughter. It truly helped to bring out the best of her abilities and made her the exceptional person she is today. Thank you.

Gary McKendrick, parent of bursary recipient
