Elgin High School World Cup 2026 Celebration

To mark the excitement of the World Cup 2026, Elgin High School will be holding a ‘Come As You Please’ Day on Friday 12th June 2026.

Pupils are invited to come to school wearing an international football top / accessory of their choice as we celebrate the global game together as a school community.

This is a chance to enjoy the build-up to one of the world’s biggest sporting events, recognise the power of sport to bring people together, and celebrate the many countries, cultures and teams represented through football.

One World. One Game. One School.
Working Together for Success.

🏆 Celebrate the game at EHS

Celebrating our S4/5 M-Power Programme Pupils!

What an incredible five weeks for our S4/5 M-Power Programme pupils!

Through the EDT programme, and with huge thanks to Ben Mackay, every pupil achieved their Silver Industrial Cadet Award and Young STEM Leader Level 5 qualification.

Working alongside Miss Taylor and Miss Wood, most pupils also achieved the NPA in Tenancy and National 4 Introduction to Events unit, successfully planning and hosting a coffee morning for staff as part of their learning.

Thank you to Janice, our Careers Adviser, for her support, and to DYW for organising valuable workplace visits to Johnstons and Glen Moray.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils’ hard work, enthusiasm and achievements. Congratulations to everyone involved — a fantastic example of Working Together for Success!

Duke of Edinburgh Award - 70th Anniversary

Students from Elgin High School were honoured to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh award at Gordonstoun School, at the end of April.

Having completed their Bronze and Silver awards, Holly, Erin and Lilli shared their experiences with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and how DofE Awards perfectly align with our school values:
| Respect | Responsibility | Resilience | Support | Success |

It was also a chance to show that there should be no barriers to achievement, highlighting Enhanced Provision’s canoe expedition including participants with limited mobility and wheel chair users.

Thank you to His Royal Highness; Teachers, PSAs and volunteers, Parents and Carers; Outfit Moray and the Moray Duke of Edinburgh's Award Committee; who all make it possible for our young people to have such great opportunities and succeed.

🎉 Congratulations to our S2 Baxters Soup Challenge winners! 🎉
A huge well done to our very talented S2 team — Freya, Ayla and Tia — who won the Baxters Soup Challenge Final yesterday, competing against other Moray secondary schools.
Their winning creation was a deliciously unique Butternut Squash, Coconut, Ginger & Rice Soup, inspired by the flavours of Kiribati.
We are incredibly proud of their creativity, teamwork and impressive culinary skills. A fantastic achievement — well done, Freya, Ayla and Tia! 👏
Working Together for Success 🌟

Good Luck!
Wishing our Baxters Soup Challenge finalists - Ayla, Freya and Tia, lots of luck on Monday as they head to the Moray Finals with Miss Wood to present their soup innovation to industry experts.

Leavers Day 2026

Today we said farewell to our S6 students, along with those in S4 and S5 who are now moving on to an alternative pathway, as we marked Leavers Day 2026 at Elgin High School.

Our S6 students enjoyed a memorable final day together with a Western theme, a shared breakfast, an EHS quiz, yearbook signing and a fantastic celebratory cake kindly made by our Catering Supervisor, Annie. There was also time to say cheerio to staff and reflect on the many memories made along the way.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to share the learning journey with this wonderful group of young people. We are very proud of all they have achieved and of the contribution they have made to the life of our school.

On behalf of everyone at Elgin High School, we wish all of our leavers every success, happiness and fulfilment in the future paths they now go on to follow.

Working Together For Success.

Career Ready 2026

Congratulations to Michal, Jessica, Ryan and Emma on graduating from the Career Ready programme. We are incredibly proud of all the students who participated. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to developing your skills have truly paid off.

A huge thank you to our mentors from Edrington and Walkers for your invaluable support, guidance, and encouragement. Your time and expertise have made a real difference, inspiring our students to achieve their potential.

EHS YPI Final Winners!

A huge congratulations to Neala and Maci-Lee, winners of the Elgin High School YPI Final, who have secured £3,000 for Moray Women’s Aid with their chosen charity presentation.

Well done to both on an excellent presentation, and congratulations too to all of the other groups who took part in the final — the standard was very high and everyone involved should be proud of their efforts.

YPI gives young people the chance to learn about important social issues, support a local charity and make a real difference in their community. We are delighted that Moray Women’s Aid, which provides vital support to women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse, will benefit from this year’s award.

Well done everyone involved.

Working together for success.
