Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen is a secondary school located in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, North Wales. The school was opened in 1894 and is named after the educator Sir Hugh Owen.
The school currently has over 900 pupils and is run by Elwyn Vaughan Williams. The former Segontium School was closed in 2005, with the pupils being transferred to Hugh Owen. The former Segontium School site in Llanberis Road is now occupied by the new court complex designed by HOK.[1]
The school has many classes with pupils varied between the ages of 11-18. The school has a 6th form which allows children to stay in school for an extra 2 years instead of having to go to college.
Notable alumni include Mei Gwynedd and Osian Gwynedd from the band Sibrydion (formerly members of Beganifs and Big Leaves).
