Drostdy Technical High School or Hoër Tegniese Skool Drostdy, as its known in Afrikaans, is an Afrikaans high school located in Worcester, South Africa and founded in 1903.
In 1822 a storm heavily damaged the landrost (magistrate) building in Tulbagh[2] Charles Trappes, Magistrate Fischer of Tulbagh recommended that Lord Charles Somerset, colonial administrator and founder of the town, move the magisterial seat to Worcester.
Captain Charles Trappes was the first magistrate and first person to live in the Drostdy building.
The Drostdy served as the magistrate's home until the end of 1902 and was put up for sale that year.
Many ex soldiers of the Anglo Boer War expressed an interest in being educated, thus creating the demand for a school.
