Plumtree High School History
The school was founded by the Railway missionary who sought to provide their children with education back in 1897. It is said that the first class was attended on the premises of family of the Smiths then the class was later shifted to the dining room of Plumtree Hotel when the number of students increased. In 1902 the school moved to where its located today occupying a space that would be large enough for sports grounds, classrooms and all the other buildings found today.
During this time till the recent years Plumtree School was a private boys High School with students from all over the country. According to wikipedia the father of Plumtree School, Robert Hammond took over from reigns of the family as he was appointed the first Headmaster of Plumtree High School. During his 30 year tenure Mr Hammond created a school that would roar with pure excellence and created a name for the school that would be known by the whole of Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.
