Fairmont High School is a public English medium co-educational high school situated in the town of Durbanville in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The school was established in January 1977 and initially known as Eversdal English Medium School. The school was officially opened on 5 September 1978 by P.S. Meyer – Director of Education.[1] Clive Wigg was the first principal [2] and remained headmaster until 2002, when he retired. Liz Muller took over from him, but she died in 2006. She was replaced by Ron Dingley who served until 2016. Leon Erasmus is the present headmaster.[3] [4]
The three school houses take their names from Sir Langham Dale, Sir James Rose Innes and Sir Thomas Muir, each having held the position of Superintendent-General of Education in the Cape.
In 2009, Fairmont was named as one of the top ten performing schools in mathematics and science in South Africa.[5]
