Welcome to oldchs.co.uk.
This site is intended to record the memories of former pupils, teachers and staff at Clydebank High School.It's not just for those who knew the Shelley Drive building — perhaps you knew its predecessors or maybe you are now working or learning at the new Janetta Street building.
So what are we looking for? Photographs, stories, memories, school publications and newspaper cuttings. Perhaps you can think of something else, if so just contact us using the contact button at the top right of the page.
However you know CHS and from what ever time period please feel free to have a look around the site and please contribute! Without you, this site will never flourish!
We hope to hear from you soon!
Robert, Jim and all of the oldchs.co.uk team.

Well what a hectic few months! Apologies to our regular contributors for not updating the site with their photos and publications. I've been moving house, which did not go smoothly along with other things which popped up out of the blue! I'll be working over the next few days to update the site with all of the new contributions and they will appear on this page. Thanks for your patience, Robert.

I've removed the facility of the forum from the site as it wasn't being used very much. I've replaced it with a video section. This will feature any type of film relating to the life of CHS. It currently features video from both FPs and professional organisations. If you know of any other videos I could add, please let me know.

Wondering if you are in any of the photos on the site? Well now you can look up the "Am I here" page. It's oldchs.co.uk's very own register. If your name features on the list then click the photograph name and you'll be taken straight to it. Please note that as not all names are known, the asbence of your name from the page doesn't mean you're not featured - it just means you'll have to do a bit of trawling through our photo collection!
