Government High School is a state secondary school in Nassau, Bahamas. At one time, it was a selective grammar school[1] and one of the country's leading institutions.[2][3]
Government High School became the Bahamas' first state school when it opened on 27 April 1925,[1] providing for the education of blacks and girls who had been excluded from the colony's private schools.[4]
It was a selective state school[1] that became known for educating a generation of middle-class brown and black Bahamians before and immediately after the country achieved universal suffrage in 1961.[2]
The school now exists as one of many public comprehensive secondary schools on the island of New Providence.[2][3]
