During September 1874, it was decided that Miss Elizabeth Barker's school for young girls would close down. The Paarl Boys' High committee subsequently decided to establish a girls school. And so, on 17 January 1876, the ''Meisjes Hoogere School'' opened its doors in the building that is situated on the corner of Zeederberg Street and Zeederberg Square. By July 1880 the school building was completed and inaugurated on 26 July of the same year. (Source: Paarl Girls' High School.)
