Joining Bishopbriggs High School board

Shortly after my first son started attending Bishopbriggs High I joined the school board.

I have an interest in the running of the school and had been following the great progress of the then headmaster, Bill Waddell, had made with the school.

The buildings were a bit run down, but were being maintained with ongoing projects the windows and classrooms were being upgraded.

Bishopbriggs High was the most popular school in the area, it was working at well over it's intended capacity due to the number of placing requests it received each year.

The school had only a few less pupils than the new school will educate.

The academic record of the school was excellent and it continued to climb under the leadership of Mr Waddell.
