History
Originally built in the 1930s many additions to the school were made throughout the years. In 2005 it was decided a new £28 million school should be built through the PPP agreement as the old building was falling into disrepair and incurred high maintenance costs. The new school building is situated outside the current school in the old sports field. Building began in mid-2005 and a completion date of May 2008 had been agreed on. Dingwall Academy was officially handed over to Highland Council on 20 May 2008, and opened to pupils on 9 June. The new school has a range of classrooms with specialist facilities and incorporates a number of state of the art community facilities such as a drama studio, all-weather pitches and a library which is used by both the school and the community. Dingwall Academy also became the first school from the North of Scotland to win the Scottish School's Football Cup in 1994 beating Cardinal Newman 1-0 in the final at Hampden Park, Glasgow.
