First established in 1935, it moved into its present building in 1938 and was known as Lansdowne High. Its first incarnation under the old apartheid system was as a school exclusively reserved for the white population group.

Having passed through the "Model C" phase (a term denoting former 'whites-only schools that opened up just before the demise of apartheid).
