History
Pretoria High School for Girls was started by Lord Milner in 1902 as part of his efforts to anglicise the Transvaal.
Miss Edith Aitken, the first headmistress, was a remarkable pioneer who fought for higher education for women and was determined to bring together the various cultural groups, as is reflected in the School Charter she formulated.
Having had relatively few headmistresses through the years, the school has been fortunate enough to maintain great stability of leadership. While various headmistresses have made changes to meet the challenge of changing times, the standards of excellence and caring have remained absolute.
Pretoria High School for Girls is known for the tremendous contribution it has made to the community and for the respect and admiration it draws from those who become acquainted with it. As a beacon of light in the world of education and innovative teaching, this school remains an institution of which all can be proud.
Aims
It is the aim of the School to produce well educated, balanced young women, who are adaptable, creative and independent, have integrity, social responsibility and respect, in an environment of inclusivity and equality.
