Mount Pleasant School, Harare

Mount Pleasant School or Joshua Nkomo High School is located in the suburb of Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe. The official name^[1] is for the late veteran nationalist, president of ZAPU and vice-president of Zimbabwe, Dr. Joshua Nkomo.

The school motto is "a man of understanding walks upright", from Proverbs 15.21. The school emblem is the impala, hence the designation Old Impalian for old boys and old girls.

Mount Pleasant School was named in 2003 as the fifty-eighth best high school in Africa, based upon strength and activities of old boys and old girls, school profile, internet and news visibility ^[2].
