St Columba's High School was a Roman Catholic comprehensive school in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

History

St Columba's High was a six-year Catholic comprehensive school serving the northern part of Clydebank, the village of Duntocher, Faifley, Hardgate and the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Other pupils come in substantial numbers from Old Kilpatrick, Knightswood and Scotstoun. Five primary schools provide the great majority of the first year intake. These comprise St Mary's, St Joseph's, St Eunan's, St Stephen's and St Clare's, although a variety of others add to this number.
