At the cutting edge.



One of the Jeppe Boys teams that represented the school in esports in 2016.
Jeppe High School for Boys is Johannesburg’s oldest public school and was established in 1890, and is considered to be one of South Africa's top 20 boys schools.
The school, although steeped in culture and tradition more than reflects South Africa's diversity and ever changing needs.
It is thus exciting that a school such as Jeppe High School for Boys shall be hosting MSSA's 34th GAUTENG Championships on 25 & 26 February 2017.

Hosting such an event shows the school's wonderful ability to continue to deliver.

And Jeppe High School for Boys does deliver...
