De Villiers Graaff High School

De Villiers Graaff High School is an academic state secondary school in Villiersdorp, a small town approximately 150 km from Cape Town, South Africa.

Though officially established in 1872, Sir David de Villiers Graaff and his brother Jacobus, financed the construction of the High School in 1907 with the Dutch style buildings being designed by Cape Town architectural firm Parker and Forsyth.

Culturally, the school offers Religious Youth Action, choir, first aid, drama, debate and the Representative Student Counsel.

With sports like Rugby, Netball, Hockey, Athletics, Cricket, Tennis and Swimming, the school has seen a few notable achievers pass through its doors.
