Dhanmondi Government Boys' High School (DGBHS) is a public boys' school located in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh.[3] It is a state run educational institution located at the intersection of Mirpur Road and Manik Miah Avenue. Originally started as the model government school to educate the children of higher government officials, member of parliaments, and prominent businessman of the capital, the school is now open to every student despite their background. With a diverse group of successful and well known alumni network all over the world, DGBHS has been grooming the best of the country till date. DGBHS also played a very vital role in help sheltering the Mukti Bahini during the Liberation War, resulting the total demolition of the school campus by an air strike by the Pakistan Air Force. Continuing the legacy, DGBHS students were one of the core organisers of the 2018 Bangladesh road-safety protests.
Assembly is called every day before schooling. Students recite Surah and pay respect to every religion. Finally, the students sing the national anthem of Bangladesh.
From classes 1 to 3, the school uniform is a white shirt with navy blue shorts, white shoes, and a navy blue sweater (for winter only). From classes 4 to 10, the uniform is a white shirt with full-length navy blue pants, white shoes, and a navy blue sweater (for winter only). Two pieces of printed school badges are usually provided by the school authority.
There are two terms in a year. The first is the "half-yearly" term (January – June), and the second is the "annual" term (July – December). Two class tests are taken before both half yearly and annual examination.Students get their results digitally printed. The final result is announced taking 40% numbers from 'Half-yearly' term and 40% number from 'Annual' Term and 20% number from class test examinations. For classes 8, and 10, students sit for a "test exam" instead of an "annual exam."
Teacher-guardian conferences are called periodically.
The books in the library were largely bought by coeval sanctioned money during the establishment of the school. Others were bought by annually approved money. For the reason of Enam Committee the post 'librarian' was discontinued but now it is running under a teacher of this school.
The name of the school magazine is ANKUR. The magazine is sourced by current students writing every year.
The former students of DGBHS are known as DExSAn (sometimes referred to Dboys), a phrase initially proposed by Dboys' Ex-Students Association (DExSA) just before its wider acceptance. DExSA, however, is the alumni association of the institution.
The annual sports competition is organised by the school authority in February each year and it includes sprints (100 to 400 meters), long jump, and high jump etc.
