An Introduction.

DHS leads boys on their journey to become men and take their place in the world. We have a lineage of well rounded young men reaching back over 140 years. Each boy is as unique as his journey, and DHS is proud to be part of the making of both history and the future. More than just a high school, DHS becomes a way of life for many of its learners, to which its 7000 strong Old Boys network is testament.

Embracing a heritage of excellence, DHS is shaping the future by producing young men who excel in all areas of life – Academic, Sporting and Cultural. In each of these areas, we offer unsurpassed facilities; our award winning media centre and newly completed theatre being just some highlights.

Blackmore House, our boarding establishment, is located on the school grounds and provides a home from home for 144 boys.
