DHS leads boys on their journey to become men and take their place in the world. Each boy is as unique as his journey, and DHS is proud to be part of the making of both history and the future. More than just a high school, DHS becomes a way of life for many of its learners. Embracing a heritage of excellence, DHS is shaping the future by producing young men who excel in all areas of life – Academic, Sporting and Cultural. In each of these areas, we offer unsurpassed facilities; our award winning media centre and newly completed theatre being just some highlights. Blackmore House, our boarding establishment, is located on the school grounds and provides a home from home for 144 boys. In 2016 DHS will celebrate a rich history spanning 150 years.

excellence through providing a holistic education and continues to produce top results in the areas of; Personal Development and Leadership, Academics, Sports and Culture, over nearly a century and a half. It is not surprising that the second oldest Government High School in Natal has a multitude of items, memorabilia, documents, trophies, photographs, etc. in its possession furnishing evidence of the School’s contribution to the City of Durban, the greater South Africa and, indeed, throughout the world. The Archives serve as a holding room for this collection. Please consider donating any item that has a DHS connection to enhance our already impressive collection. You are most welcome to visit the School Archives, and may contact Mr. Jeremy Oddy, the School Archivist.
