• History & Memorable Moments

Durban High School, referred to usually as DHS or simply School, has had and still has a big impact on the city of Durban. The School has virtually grown up with the City which, though 21 years after becoming part of a British colony, was then little more than a camp on a swamp when DHS opened its doors on 1 June 1866 in two rooms and with seven pupils in Smith Street. From there it moved to a disused granary in Cato Square in 1880, just after the Zulu War, and then to the Old Hospital on the foreshore. Eventually, in 1895, it moved up onto the healthier Berea to its present site, where it flourished. The land, 10 acres in all, was granted to the School by the Durban Town Council. The first enrolled student was a boy called Eben Coakes and he was also the first Head-boy. The School is currently located at: 255 St Thomas Road, Durban, 4001. There is also a related primary school called Durban Preparatory High School (D.P.H.S.). ^[1]
