Spine Road High School celebrates 40 years with hall renaming
Cape Argus
|April 30, 2025
SPINE Road High School marked its 40th anniversary by renaming its hall in honour of former principal, Riyaadh Najaar.
The Spine Road High School hall is now called the Riyaadh Najaar Education Centre.
The event, held on April 17, celebrated four decades of community-driven progress and recognised the leadership that helped the school become one of Mitchell's Plain’s top-performing institutions.
The school was established in 1984 as Mitchell’s Plain High School number 12 under the founding former principal Moegamat Adnaan Davis. Soon after, it was renamed Spine Road High by staff and leadership.
In 1993, Riyaadh Najaar became principal, taking over a school with a 40% pass rate and transforming it into one that would later boast multiple 100% matric pass rates - in 2014 and 2017 - along with a consistent average of 99%, and learners earning top university placements.
