A £1.864million refurbishment project was carried out to provide additional teaching space and a sport, dining and community area. Modular accommodation was also removed.
Opening the new facility, former Headteacher Anne Comrie said: "The first time I saw the refurbished school I was quite overwhelmed by the enormity of the change.
"The whole building looks fantastic but the red-cedar shingles on the exterior, architecturally, is really in keeping with its environs.

"It was a privilege and an honour to re-open the school and it was lovely to see the children, including some whose parents I had taught."
Current Headteacher Bernadette McDonald added: "Our school motto is 'Strathyre Grows Learners', and our new building will extend and improve our opportunities to do just that.
"We now have the capacity for three teaching spaces, a dining area and a large school hall, and we will be able to offer our children many more learning opportunities.
"We also plan to work in partnership with our local communities to encourage the use of the school hall as a place to meet for recreation, sport and the sharing of skills.
"The development of our lovely, new school has ensured that Strathyre, Balquhidder and Lochearnhead will continue to flourish and 'grow learners' for years to come."
Local ward Councillors, Convener of the Children and Young People Committee, Cllr Susan McGill, and Council Officers from the Education and Infrastructure teams were also in attendance for the official opening.
