There has been a Glenlee School on this site for over 100 years. The current building is the third. The first was demolished as it subsided due to mine working in the area. The new build was part of South Lanarkshire Council’s Modernisation programme. It was officially opened on the 12th November 2008 by Councillor David McLachlan, who was a former pupil at the school.
