Harris Academy is a co-educational comprehensive school in the affluent residential area of West End of Dundee, Scotland.

Each of the houses has an associated colour, Birnam - Red, Cawdor - Yellow, Forres - Green, Kinloch - Blue.

Pupils from Menzieshill High School transferred to Harris Academy in 2016 when the new Perth Road building was completed.

By the early 2020s, Harris Academy became the most populated secondary school in Dundee, with an intake of 1,345 pupils as of 2022, which by September 2023, had a capacity percentage of 103%.

[13] As a result, an extension to the 2016 Perth Road building was approved to be built at the southern end of the school campus, construction started in 2022 and was finished by the 2023-24 term.

This new extension has increased Harris Academy's capacity number to 1,500, cementing its position as the largest public school in Dundee.

Harris Academy's original building was located at Park Place in Dundee which opened on 31 August 1885.

The school has access to a wrought-iron footbridge over the Dundee-Perth railway line to playing fields at the Riverside.

Use of the annexe ceased in 1998,[14] and following a fire that caused extensive damage to the now-vacant school in 2001,[14] the former Logie/Annexe building was demolished.

On the evening of 15 September 2013, a fire broke out at the vacant former Perth Road building while it awaited demolition.

[18] When Harris Academy moved to Perth Road in 1931, a clock tower was built at the front of the original 1930s building.

The new Harris Academy retained the clock tower that was put in storage during the construction of the new school building.

The clock tower was renovated, painted and later retained on a platform at the eastern side of the school campus.

The platform that the clock tower stands on was built from the foundations of the former games hall and the 1960s extension from the former Perth Road building.
