Founders High School is a public secondary school in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It includes both boarding and day students.

History

Founders High School was founded in January 1952 as Southern Rhodesia's first secondary school for Coloured and Asian students.[1][2] It was established at the Herbert Stanley Hostel on Dundee Drive in the Barham Green area of Bulawayo.[1] Today, most of its students are black Africans from suburbs including Nketa, Tshabalala, and Nkulumane.

In July 2017, Founders High School was subject to an investigation by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education after three male teachers became implicated in impregnating six female students.[3][4]
