Churchill Boys' High School is a single-gender high school located in the Eastlea suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe. The school is well-known for having the first school pipe band in Zimbabwe and producing cricket players of a national and international caliber.

At one time, the school's pipe band was in the Guinness Book of Records for the longest piping hours. Pipers Neville Workman, Patrick Forth, Paul Harris and Clive Higgins blew their pipes for a combined 100 hours, breaking the previous record of 80 hours.

History

Founded in 1950 as Salisbury East Boys' High School, headmaster E.J. 'Jeeves' Hougaard helped inspire most of Churchill's traditions. Hougaard is credited with establishing the name of the school and its affiliation to Winston Churchill and his family, and the school mascot, the bulldog. The boarding House which had about 80 pupils, was called Winston House. The games houses (Akroyd, Beumont, Cardell, Hamilton, Maxwell and Wakeham) are named after pilots who died in the Battle of Britain. The schools' good standing amongst the list of educational institutions run by the state in Zimbabwe has been largely attributed to its observance of a long history of tradition that emphasis duty, moral character, respect for ones' elders, and a balance between academic and sporting achievements. consequently, the school has produced a crop of young gentlemen that have had a disproportionate impact on their country and their region over the years, not to mention Terry Honde (1997-2000) who is and will always be remembered for his constant attributes to fellow pupils and staff, in Gods speed we wish him well.well it is known of having lots of very hot boys and they really match with watershed girls.
