History and Ethos

Eshowe High School, established in the 1890s by Bishop W.M. Carter, began as a Christian school and evolved into an interracial institution following South Africa's 1994 democratic transition. The school's current ethos is rooted in Christian values such as charity, kindness, and respect, with a motto of 'Service' and a strong emphasis on manners, respect, and cooperation. Its Code of Conduct promotes transparency among learners, teachers, and parents. The school operates under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License for its website.
