Admin/biog history
Luton Modern School was created in 1904. By 1914 this mixed school had outgrown the site it was on and, as part of the solution to this, the school was split into two single sex schools - Luton Grammar School for Boys and Luton Modern School for Girls (later Luton High School for Girls). The High School for Girls was first accommodated in ex-army huts but a new building finally opened in 1930. The school continued as a selective girls school until Luton Local Education Authority introduced non-selective comprehensive education. In 1967 the High School for Girls merged with the mixed sex Denbigh Road Secondary Modern (see SDLutonDR) to become Denbigh High (see SDLutonDH)
