Notre Dame High School is a public Roman Catholic girls secondary school located on Observatory Road in Glasgow, Scotland, and founded in 1897. Notre Dame's uniform consists of a brown blazer, brown skirt and jumper, blue blouse and the school tie.
The school was founded in 1894 by the Sisters of Notre Dame for the education of Catholic girls. Overcrowding led to the construction of a new building in 1953. Proposals to close the school in 1987 were defeated, and the now newly refurbished high school continues to thrive.
