John St. Senior Secondary School                                         

 Most pupils from Dalmarnock Primary School went to either Bernard St.or John St. School.

John Street Secondary School in Tullis St was opened in 1883.   ( Tullis St. was formerly named John St.)
After a series of fires, the school closed down in 1967 and pupils were bussed to Craigie St School, Strathbungo in Langside.  The new John St. School opened in 1970. 
Unfortunately due to a declining population and costs the school was demolished in 1998.
I don't have the date when Bernard Street School closed, but it was long before John St.School. 

 

.I attended  John St. School former pupils "celebration of 115 years" on 17th June 1998

We were given this postcard which is a sketch drawn by a
Mr.Paterson in 1933 on the school's 50th anniversary.
