The school has a pupil roll of approximately 2,000, and 130 teachers, making it one of the largest secondary institutions in Europe. The School's houses are named Cameron, Torrance, and Struthers.The school was established after the merger of Hunter High School and Claremont High School. Calderglen occupies the site of the former Claremont High, and was opened on 18 February 2008, in a new purpose-built building. The campus is shared with Sanderson High School, a special school catering for students with learning difficulties. Elizabeth White is the Head Teacher.ModernisationThe schools of Hunter and Claremont High School were in need of renewal due to wear and tear of the buildings. Leaks had started and asbestos damage was becoming a major issue. After consideration by South Lanarkshire Council, it was proposed to merge the two, and rename the new school Calderglen High. The other four high schools in East Kilbride have also merged into another two new schools.Construction of the school started in 2004/2005 next to the existing Claremont building in St Leonards, and was to be ready at the start of the 2007/2008 school year, but was completed 6 months late. The Claremont building has been demolished and in its place is a new all-weather sports pitch facility.
