York High School (George)

York High School (George)

York High School is a co-educational English Medium High School (Grade 8 to 12) in George, Western Cape, South Africa.

Founded in 1974, it was for many years the only English medium high school between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. A state school, it was formerly a "Model C" school and was one of the first in the Cape Province to admit pupils of all races in the Apartheid era.

The school badge features the Tudor Rose and the motto, "Take Root and Grow", a quote taken from the diary of an ancestor of the founding Headmaster, Mr Ron Dugmore.

The first hostel to house York Boarders was Huis Volschenk, originally built for and used by Outeniqua High.
