In 1903, Krugersdorp High School was established under the watchful eye of Miss Martin, the 1st Headmistress of the school. It was under her guidance that the fundamentals of grit, excellence and dedication were enculcated in the core business of the school.
In the rich history of the school, 2 dramatric occurrences have taken place: the school burnt down and the very next day, education continued in a new home for Krugersdorp High School in the earliy 1920’s. The 2nd took place during the national closure due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. However, again, like in 1921, the school was not held back by any hurdles, and started educating our learners immediately and as a result, ensuring that our learners were provided with opportunities to continue with their core business – education. Krugersdorp High School was amongst one of the first schools to provide online learning to our students and created a drive thru on one of our rugby fields, for our learners to both upload and download their schoolwork on.
In the 121 years, the school has had a mere 9 principals – Mr Ivan Bailey being our current Headmaster. Under his guidance and leadership, the school has further developed on it’s academic, sporting and cultural offerings. This is also a further indication that consistency and dedication is an integral part of the philosophy to K.H.S. (as the school is fondly known as amongst its community.)
As we work towards developing the holistic learner, Krugersdorp High School focuses on encompassing the academic, sport and cultural offerings provided to a learner. This ensures that learners are provided opportunities to further develop their futures as when a learner starts at Krugersdorp High School, we begin our journey in ensuring that a learner is provided the best possible platform to succeed as a well-rounded adult.
