The High School Rathgar - Dublin
The High School Rathgar is a co-educational school located in Rathgar, Dublin, Ireland.The school is Protestant managed and its general ethos is that of the Church of Ireland. It was founded in 1870 in Harcourt Street before moving to its current location in Rathgar in 1971 and amalgamated with The Diocesan School for Girls in 1974, thereby becoming co-educational.
The High School began re-developing its campus with the "Millennium Developments" projects which were completed in the summer of 1998. The projects involved the creation of three new buildings. The first, the "T Block" contained four new classrooms: two Home Economics laboratories and two Technical Graphics rooms. The second building combined a music centre, archive room, rugby/cricket pavilion, and meeting rooms. This replaced the old Music Centre behind the school stage and the 30-year old rugby pavilion.
In 2004/2005, a second computer room based on a thin-client network was created. Also in this school year plans were created to refurbish the 30-year old school laboratories to modern standards; among the new features are key-operated gas pressure systems and eye-wash stations. In the summer of 2004/2005, two more laboratories were refurbished.
In 2005/2006, all of the school classrooms were fitted with digital video projectors with the teachers in those classrooms being supplied with laptop computers for this purpose.
In 2009 the school was ranked as the best-performing school in Ireland in terms of progression to third-level education.
