Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool
Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool Pretoria (Colloquially known as Meisies Hoër) is a public, Afrikaans medium high school for girls in the suburb of Clydesdale in Pretoria in the Gauteng province of South Africa. It is the sister school of the Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool. History

The Afrikaans Hogere Skool was established on 28 January 1920, in the house of General PJ Joubert. The address was 218 Visagie Street, Pretoria. It was considered as a rebel school because it was the first Afrikaans-language secondary school. Afrikaans was not an official language in South Africa then. The school opened its doors for boys and girls. A new school building was inaugurated on 26 January 1927 and in 1930, separate schools for girls and boys, Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool and Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool respectively, were established. The school's motto, "Ek sien haar wen", is derived from Jan F.E. Celliers's poem "By die vrouebetoging". Recent history 
In 2003, the school won first place in the annual Afrikaans Olympiad in the language category, ahead of Potchefstroom Gimnasium in North West and Bloemhof High School in Western Cape. Notable alumni
