Auchmuty School is a state secondary school in the town of Glenrothes in the Fife council area of Scotland. Opened in 1957, it was the first school for secondary education in the area. It quickly outgrew the original building and additions were added about 1970. The planning and construction of a completely new Auchmuty High School, beside the old, began in 2011, with doors opening to pupils in 2013.
With the old buildings remaining in use until the new ones were completed, the construction began on the playing fields beside the A92 and Queensway roundabout. After completion, the old buildings were gradually demolished and new playing fields were put in place, finishing in 2014. Auchmuty's sporting facilities now include tennis courts, a large playing grounds and a football pitch which is used for lacrosse and other sporting games.
In 2006, the present houses were introduced. The five houses are Wemyss, Balgonie, Ravenscraig, Glamis and Balmoral.
David Wilson resigned in February 2009, after being arrested in December 2008 on charges of possession of child pornography. He pleaded guilty to the charges in October 2009. There is no evidence that any students from the school were involved.
