Dale College Boys' High School
Dale College Boys' High School,, is a well-established public English medium high school for boys located in Qonce, a town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. With a rich history, it holds the distinction of being one of the oldest schools in the country and is among the few prestigious high schools in the Eastern Cape.
Formerly established as The King William's Town Public School, it was founded in 1861. It was renamed to Dale College in 1877, in honor of Sir Langham Dale, then Superintendent-General of Cape Province.
Captain Cecil D'Arcy of the Frontier Light Horse, who won the Victoria Cross in the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879, was an Old Dalian.
Dale College has long-standing annual derby days for both summer and winter sports with traditional rivals such as Queens College, Grey College, Muir College, St Andrews College, and Selborne College that stretch back to at least the 1960s
