The school was established in 1965 and follows the traditional Secondary School Certificate (SSC) curriculum with the medium of teaching being Bangla.
There is intense competition in the admission process and large proportions of the applicants are rejected. The admission process consists of both written and oral examination. Many of the graduates from the school become leaders and notable personnel of the country. It is one of the most prestigious schools in the country, despite having logistical problems. Most graduates from here do well in other areas of life.
The school enrolls students from class (grade) 1 to 10. The school operates in two shifts - morning and day. In each shift, there generally exists two sections in each class (grade), each section having 40 to 50 students. Every year about 200 students appear in the SSC examination, with about three-fourth in science, and the rest in commerce. The results place DGBHS among the top schools in the country.
The former students of DGBHS are known as DExSAn (sometimes referred to DBoyz), a phrase which was initially proposed by DGBHS Ex-Students Association (DExSA) just before its wider acceptance. DExSA, however, is the alumni association of the institution.
Sports and extra curriculums.
The students of DGBHS are active in sports. The annual sports' competition is organized by the school authority in February each year. Sprints (100 to 400 meters), long jump, and high jump are few to mention among different kinds of sports that students participate.
