Hamilton Girls' High School is a state single sex secondary school located in central Hamilton, New Zealand. The school caters for students in Years 9 to 13 (ages 12 to 18).

History

In 1955, Hamilton High school was divided into separate boys' and girls' schools, and Hamilton Girls' High School retained the original site with Miss Joan Ellis being the first principal. She was followed by Miss Lesley Anderson in 1958, Miss Pat Edbrooke in 1969, Mrs Lyn Scott in 1982, Mrs Judith Miles in 1988, Mrs Lil Garland in 1998 and Mrs Mary Ann Baxter 2004. The current principal is Mrs Marie Gordon, who started in 2013.

The buildings have changed significantly over the years – all that remains of the original school is the front steps to the original building, and these now lead to the Wharenui and Wharekai and Maori Language area. There is a sense of history in the groundsШаблон:Citation needed.
