Glenwood High School is a public high school for boys located in Glenwood, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
History
The Durban Technical School for Boys was founded in 1910, the same year the Union of South Africa was formed. Upon moving to its present location on the corner of Alan Paton and Bulwer Roads in Glenwood, its name was changed to Glenwood High School. It has a tradition of rivalry with Durban High School, the oldest boys' high school in Durban.
Glenwood High is one of the few Durban public schools with a boarding establishment. The boarding establishment, established around 1935, is known as Gibson House (named after the "Lady in White" who saw off soldiers at the docks embarking on ships for tours at the front during the Second World War). It is situated on the corner of McDonald and Frere Roads, a short walk from the main school. The original boarding school took only a small number of boys (three dormitories) but has been expanded.
Today
The headmaster is Mr Trevor Kershaw.
