History
Rhyl and District Intermediate School was founded in 1894. In 1901 the school was relocated to Grange Road and became Rhyl County School. The school subsequently became Rhyl Grammar School after the war and finally renamed as Rhyl High School.
In April 2016, the school moved from the 1901 site on Grange Road to a brand new building on the site of the school playing fields.
