Claremont High School was a non-denominational, state-funded secondary school based in the St Leonards area of East Kilbride. It closed in June 2007 and merged with Hunter High School to form the new Calderglen High School, although Calderglen met in the Claremont building until February 2008 when the new building opened on the same site. It was originally one of 6 state Secondary schools in East Kilbride until they were merged into 3 schools.

Studio 32
A teachers' strike in 1985 led to the establishment of Studio 32, an amateur theatre company that has since grown to be the leading community theatre company in the area. Studio 32 was named after the drama classroom in the school (A32) by the father of one of the founder members in a competition.
