Wallace High School in Causewayhead, Stirling, Scotland.

It was founded in 1971 to serve northern and north-eastern Stirling. The University of Stirling is in close proximity, and the school has formed strong links with the institution. Wallace High School is one of seven secondary schools in the Stirling Council area.

In 2008 the school moved from its initial location on Dumyat Road to a new building on Airthrey Road which was funded by a public private partnership. The old site will be used for a new housing development.

The school has roughly 916 pupils and operates a house system.[1] The three houses are Airthrey, Logie and Powis, which are both for social and administrative purposes. Airthrey is Red, Logie is Blue and Powis is Yellow. The school is also colour coded with Science and Social Subjects situated in Airthrey (red), Music, Technical, Art, IT, Business and Maths in Logie (blue) and finally, RMPS, Home Economics, Modern Languages and PE in Powis (yellow).
