Motto
The school motto is Optimum Sequi, which translated from Latin, means follow the best course in all things.
From 1886 to 1977 the school operated on from its primary site on Main Street, Stenhousemuir. In November 1977 an extension to the school was opened at Carrongrange around half a kilometre from the Main Street campus. From 1977 to 2000 the school operated on a split site basis, and this meant that, at the change of periods, pupils had to travel, on foot (potentially up to 5 times per day), between the two buildings, which were some distance apart - a fact that was criticised in the 1999 inspection of the school. In 1998 Falkirk Council opted to consolidate the school on the Carrongrange site, removing the need for students to transfer between different buildings. This was funded by the Private Finance Initiative. In early 2000 the school was opened on the one site at Carrongrange.
