Notable People

This page contains details of those individuals who have made their mark on behalf of the School.   Duxes and Captains lead the way, followed by those representing their country and recording a variety of records.    Rectors have not always been the most popular with pupils, but they too make their mark.    Last but not least are those who have been elected to be the President of the Royal High School Club.

School Duxes

Until 1875, this accolade was entitled 'The Royal High School Prize-man'.    Given that the school has been comprehensive since 1973, the title would certainly not have been appropriate in modern times, particularly considering that roughly half of the duxes in the last couple of decades have been ladies.
