Krugersdorp High School is situated in Krugersdorp on the West Rand, approximately 25 kilometer from Johannesburg. It is located on a ridge with a view of the Magaliesburg Mountains to the North.  Established on 17 hectares of a north facing hill slope, the school is surrounded by a windbreak of majestic pine trees which protects much of the school from an ever-present wind.

From a humble beginning in a church 106 yrs ago with just 12 pupils, the school has grown to over 1200 strong.  Krugersdorp High School has built up the tradition as being very strong in the academic, cultural, sporting and other spheres.  It was once said, Life does not consist of the number of years lived, but rather how those years were spent. This, in essence, is how the tradition of the school has built up over 100 years of achievement in academic, cultural, sporting, commercial and other spheres.
