==History==
The school has its origins in the 12th century when Dunfermline was the capital of Scotland. King David I (son of Queen Margaret and Malcolm Canmore) initially put up the money to found a school as part of the wider operations of Dunfermline Abbey in the early 1120s (meaning Dunfermline has a claim against the Royal High School in Edinburgh and the High School of Glasgow's predecessor school for being the oldest in Scotland). Abbot Richard de Bothwell formally founded the high school in the town in 1468 as a separate organisation although the school maintains a strong link with the Abbey. The original buildings were destroyed during the reformation and the school was reconstituted by Queen Anne of Denmark in the 16th century. The poet Robert Henryson was one of the first to hold the title "Master" (now Rector) of the high school. It is from these people, who shaped the school in the first 800 years of its life, that the house names come from: Canmore, Queen Margaret, Bothwell, and Henryson. Denmark house was lost as recent school restructuring work took place.
The school celebrated 500 years since its official foundation in 1968.
In August 2012, the brand new £40 million Dunfermline High School was opened to pupils after many years of planning and construction.
