On the 16th of January, Springs Girls’ High School (SGHS) came to being , occupying the building and grounds of the old Springs Central School in town. Those buildings have since being demolished to make way for The Avenues Shopping Centre. The decision to move the girls from Springs High School, where they shared a premises with the school now known as Springs Boys’ High School, was made to allow the large enrolment of learners. Miss Phyllis Varney was the first headmistress of Girls’ High and the school grew and flourished under her management. At the end of October 1995 the learners and staff moved into a brand new building in Selcourt.Over the years the gardens, playing fields, the school hall, swimming pool, gymnasium, auditorium and various extensions had been made to the original structure resulting in a beautiful and well equipped school. The school celebrated its golden jubilee in 2001.

Times have changed but a lot has stayed the same, after opening their doors 64 years ago, their still race to victory on the athletics field and compete against each other as members of their respective houses: Abbott(green),Adamson(yellow),Campbell(blue) and Frost(red).Each year a grade 11 pupils raise funds to make their matric dance a truly memorable farewell. Springs Girls’ High School pupils have been “girls in green” – light green summer dresses and dark green in winter. The summer dresses have changed remarkably over the years although they are still worn with white ankle socks. Dark green blazers and green jerseys have remained the same throughout the years.

Miss Phyllis Varney (to whom the hall is dedicated) retired in 1970 and Miss S Richardson succeeded her. In 1982 Miss S Richardson left SGHS after 11 years of service as principal and was succeeded by Mrs. Lynne Watson who matriculated from SGHS in 1962.Mrs Watson encouraged an interest of computers in the school- first with a computer club in the mid 80’s.Today computer literacy is part of the school curriculum and the school has 2 well equipped computer rooms and internet access largely due to her efforts of another former principal, Mr P Harris.

In the middle of 1988, Miss S Gous became the fourth principal of the school and carried it through into the 1990’s when the pupil numbers began to drop. A Students’ Representative Council – now known as the RCL or Representative Council of Learners -was established as a forum in which pupils could air their fresh ideas. The school met an increased need for extra funding and resulted in embarking on a Debutantes program, efforts of which culminated each time in a grand ball and an impressive amount of money was raised for the school.

Miss Gous held the position of headmistress until March 1995.From then until the end of 1996, Miss M Slabbert filled the post as Acting Headmistress until the appointment of Mr. P Harris as principal from the beginning of 1997.In 2008, Mrs D Stoffberg became principal after being deputy and acting principal.
