There is some uncertainty about Gillespie's birthplace. The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography and some family sources state that he was born in County Monaghan, Ireland. The Biographical Dictionary of the United States Congress gives his birthplace as Kenansville, North Carolina.
Gillespie pursued classical studies and served in the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War. He was a delegate to the state constitutional convention of 1776 and served in the North Carolina House of Commons (1779–1783), then in the North Carolina Senate (1784–1786), before being elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 4th and 5th U.S. Congresses (March 4, 1793 - March 3, 1799) and later to the 8th United States Congress (March 4, 1803 - January 11, 1805).
He died on January 11, 1805, shortly before completing his term in Congress. He was buried at the Presbyterian Burying Ground in Washington, D.C. By an act of Congress, his remains were removed to Congressional Cemetery in April 1892. A cenotaph at the cemetery is located at Range 31 Site 58; his remains were buried at Range 60 Site 58 in 1893.
James Gillespie (1726–1797) was a Scottish snuff and tobacco merchant in Edinburgh in the 18th century. He never married and when he died he left a fortune with the request that a hospital and school for the poor should be built.
He grew to fame and fortune in the city as a merchant, working with his younger brother John who ran the family shop. He had a snuff mill at Colinton employing many people, all of whom it is said were treated well. In 1773 he built Spylaw House, an impressive Georgian mansion house, as his home. Most of his staff lived in the house which was attached to his mill.
He was notoriously thrifty and is credited with inventing the phrase "waste not, want not". though Henry Erskine, alluding to Gillespie's snuff-fortune, said of his handsome carriage, "Who would have thought it, that noses had bought it".
A tablet marks the site of his shop at 231 High Street on the Royal Mile.
Gillespie, a right winger joined Sunderland after spells in Scotland with Renton and Greenock Morton. After just two appearances for Sunderland, he moved to their rivals Sunderland Albion, but returned to Roker Park in 1892. Gillespie won the English league championship twice with Sunderland, in 1893 and 1895, and won the 1895 World Championship. He scored a total of 52 goals in 148 appearances in all competitions for Sunderland.
He returned to Scotland in 1897 with Third Lanark and it was with the Glasgow club that he won his only Scotland cap. Despite scoring a hat-trick in Scotland's 5–2 win over Wales on 19 March 1898 (with the others from fellow-debutante, James McKie), he was never capped again for his country.
James Gillespie's High School is a state secondary school in Marchmont, Edinburgh. The school is a comprehensive high school, educating pupils aged 11 to 18. Its developing campus consists of new buildings due to be completed in July 2016 alongside the 16th century Bruntsfield House. The catchment area comprises the city centre of Edinburgh. Both Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace are within the catchment area for the school.
In 1803 as a result of the legacy of James Gillespie, an Edinburgh tobacco merchant, a school for 65 students and one master was opened in Bruntsfield Place and administered by the Merchant Company of Edinburgh. In 1870 the school moved into a larger building on the south side of what is now Gillespie Crescent.
As the school developed, girls were admitted as well as boys and the number of students exceeded 1,000.
In 1908 the Edinburgh School Board took over the responsibility for the school from the Merchant Company of Edinburgh Education Board, James Gillespie's legacy having run out many years before.
The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia, along with most of Britain and parts of Australia, Bangladesh and Canada, high school means the same thing as secondary school, but instead of starting in 9th grade, these "secondary schools" begin at ages 11 or 12.
Country by country
Australia
In Australia, high school is a secondary school, from Year 7 or Year 8 through to Year 12, varying from state to state. High school immediately follows primary (elementary) school; therefore, a Year-7 Australian high-school student is sometimes as young as 12. In Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, the term "high school" generally refers to Years 7–10, whereas the term "College" is used for Years 11–12. In Victoria the term "secondary college" has largely replaced the term "high school" following the reforms of the Labor Government in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some schools have retained the name "high school" (such as Melbourne High School) and many have now dropped the "secondary" and are simply known as "college".
High school is the last segment of compulsory secondary education in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Scotland, the United States, and other countries; the term also refers to the building where such education takes place.
High school may also refer to:
Education
Folk high school, institutions of adult and continuing education common in the Nordic countries and Germany
In most jurisdictions, secondary education in the United States refers to the last four years of statutory formal education (grade nine through grade twelve) either at high school or split between a final year of 'junior high school' and three in high school.
History
The United States historically had a demand for general skills rather than specific training/apprenticeships. High school enrollment increased when schools at this level became free, laws required children to attend until a certain age, and it was believed that every American student had the opportunity to participate regardless of their ability.
In 1892, in response to many competing academic philosophies being promoted at the time, a working group of educators, known as the "Committee of Ten" was established by the National Education Association. It recommended twelve years of instruction, consisting of eight years of elementary education followed by four years of high school. Rejecting suggestions that high schools should divide students into college-bound and working-trades groups from the start, and in some cases also by race or ethnic background, they unanimously recommended that "every subject which is taught at all in a secondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease."

There is some uncertainty about Gillespie's birthplace. The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography and some family sources state that he was born in County Monaghan, Ireland. The Biographical Dictionary of the United States Congress gives his birthplace as Kenansville, North Carolina.
Gillespie pursued classical studies and served in the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War. He was a delegate to the state constitutional convention of 1776 and served in the North Carolina House of Commons (1779–1783), then in the North Carolina Senate (1784–1786), before being elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 4th and 5th U.S. Congresses (March 4, 1793 - March 3, 1799) and later to the 8th United States Congress (March 4, 1803 - January 11, 1805).

Bubble gum and house parties When you stole your parents rum And tried to screw everything that could breathe Back in high school we didn't have a whole lot to do We watched the world go by on the television screen Said it's the 90's kids that's way out this is way in Go beat each other up on the dance floor Told us drugs were no good But then we smoked 'em and liked 'em So much that we smoked a little more We liked 'em so much, we smoked a little more Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? You're so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you It's kinda hard with all that sexual confusion Sometimes you don't know if you're gay or straight But what's the difference, it's a wonderful illusion Most times you won't make it past second base I'm in a band, we kinda suck but we don't now it yet And I don't care anyway 'Cuz soon, I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent Support my kid and tell him all about way back in daddy's day I'll tell him all about way back in daddy's day Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? You're so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you Some years later by a soda coolerator In a corner store back in my home town This stranger smiles at me, said "Remember the class of '93?" And for some reason it makes him look real proud After all the good times he said we had He looks at me, scratches his head And asked me where the hell I ever went And the funny thing is that I never even knew him But he coulda been any one of my high school friends Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? Your so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you Did I call you name? Singin' that song that I wrote for you Singin' that song I wrote for you
