Founded in 1967, when 150 pupils and staff, together with the headmaster Mr. Gerard Hattingh and Mr. Ken Kyte (deputy headmaster), walked from the Junior School to the site of the new school in Amber Avenue. Since then Howick High School has flourished and become what is today referred to by many as 'the secret gem of the midlands'. Howick High will be celebrating the founding of our school over the weekend of 11 and 12 April.
On Friday Staff, Past Pupils & Matrics will attend a special tea, followed by Founders Assembly in the School Hall.
Saturday, 12 April will be a compulsory school day for all pupils & staff with Netball, Hockey and Rugby matches taking place against Wartburg from 09h00.
The Mum's Squad will be selling bacon & egg rolls as well as wors rolls and hamburgers as a fundraiser for the school and the Tuck Shop will be open for additional refreshments.
Karkloof Canopy Tours will have a temporary Zip-line in place over the Rugby/Netball field offering rides for R30.
The 1st Rugby XV are proud to be sponsored by the Fury Motor Group who have chosen Howick High as one of the few schools in the country to participate in their Rugby Development Program. The program equips the school with the means of raising funds via the sale of raffle tickets with a motor vehicle, sponsored by the Fury Motor Group, being the ultimate prize. Howick High will also be running a lucky draw with these tickets on Founders Day and any company who would like to market their service or product on the day in return for the donation of a prize should contact the Marketing Manager, Mrs Carmen Nanni, on 033 330 2858 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Howick High is also proud to have the 1st Girls Hockey team sponsored by Howick Travel. This team continues to play in the A Division and are only one of two state school teams to do so.
We invite all past pupils and members of the community to join us in celebrating this occasion. Entry is free and there is safe parking on the school grounds.
