It was originally opened in the 1930s as Eastwood Senior Secondary School, located on Seres Road in the Williamwood area of Clarkston. In 2006 the school relocated to a new site at Eaglesham Road on the outskirts of Clarkston, about three miles from the original site. ==Old and new== The older building, which opened as Eastwood Senior Secondary School in Seres Road, Williamwood in the 1930s, was becoming old and impractical. Several other schools in the area such as Netherlee Primary School were modernised, however Williamwood remained untouched. Over time various extensions and additions, including new PE facilities and exterior portakabin buildings as extra classrooms, were added. It was announced in 2003/2004 that a new school would be built under the PPP scheme by the private company HBG.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6170161.stm〕 Once built, they would take control of the school ensuring it was well maintained, replacing any broken fixtures, and ensuring the running of the school building. In August 2006 the new £29 million school opened. It features over 70 classrooms, each fitted with interactive whiteboards. The school has excellent sports facilities including astroturf pitches and running track, a video editing suite, and high standard drama studios. The new school was officially opened by The Right Honourable Jack McConnell MSP on Monday 11 December 2006. The unoccupied former building was damaged by fire in February 2007. Former headteacher John Fitzpatrick was awarded the OBE in 2011 for services to education, whilst at Williamwood. In June 2015, following the retirement of John Fitzpatrick, Mr William Inglis became head teacher. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Williamwood High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
