History of the school
To act as the official voice of the Afrikaner,” DIE AFRIKAANSE PATRIOT” was conceived. The first issue appeared on the 15th of January 1875 and exactly 100 years later – on 15 January 1975 Hoërskool Patriot opened its doors. The school has always been attached to History and has promoted the Afrikaans language.
Today the school maintains these ideals but gladly accepts and welcomes the English language and community into its fold to strive for new ideals and values that are of mutual value to all of us – a love for that which is our own and the ambition to build a bridge and lasting future in harmony.
