63 Years of Excellence | Founded 1962 by the Anglican Diocese of Harare
From humble beginnings to a thriving institution of excellence
St. Mary's High School was founded in 1962 by the Anglican Diocese of Harare (C.P.C.A), based on Christian principles with no prejudice intended against non-Christians. The school has been in existence for 63 years.
In 1962, the school had an initial enrolment of 70 male boarding students with a teaching staff complement of 3, including our founder Principal Mr. WF Hall. The school started with infrastructure that was very scanty - pole and dagga buildings - but the founder group of students and staff loved and enjoyed the humble beginnings of a great journey that we are all part of today. The school enrolled its first group of females in 1976.
St. Mary's High School was founded on solid principles based on quality education and to produce a wholesome and useful citizen of Zimbabwe. The school's legacy remains that of producing a highly intellectual, God-fearing, and morally upright student who has love, respect, and endeavors to work hard at all times. Above all, St. Mary's aims at producing a Zimbabwean citizen who respects human life, property, and is guided by virtues of Unhu/Ubuntu.

It is the Board and School's vision to re-establish boarding facilities soon. This is all in an effort to continue to improve the quality of tuition and services offered at St. Mary's High School. A roadmap for the re-establishment of the boarding school has already been put in place and all stakeholders are invited to be part of this new great journey that the school has embarked on.
Our success as a school is an outcome of an ever-deepening culture of industry and commitment to study on the part of our learners. This is well complimented by a hard-working team of tried and tested professionals whose desire is to get the best from all our learners.
