## History of Schools in Pretoria North

[edit]

The first school in the area was established in 1890 by Theodore Erasmus at his farm "Wesfontein". In 1895 Jan Booysen established a school on the east side of the Apies River in Pretoria. Since 1904 the English Anglican Church in General Beyers Street has been used as a school. The first classrooms of the Pretoria North Parallel Medium School (Primary Danie Malan today) were founded on 20 May 1909.[2]

## Hoërskool Pretoria-Noord founded

On January 19, 1943, the Junior Hoërskool Pretoria-Noord seceded from Pretoria North Parallel and the standard six to eight students went over to House Zealand. The construction of the school started in 1944 and was completed in 1946. Pretoria North High School was officially founded in 1951.[3][4]
