Dowerglen High School was originally founded, in 1956, as an institution where the Language of Learning and Teaching (LOLT) was Afrikaans with the name Hoerskool Edenvale.In 2008, during a general meeting of the school and parents, it was decided to change the LOLT to English. Since 2010, the school has been functioning as an English-medium Secondary School.
The symbolism of the crest is this: if a learner studies the opened book of knowledge, the gates of success will open to such a learner. The rising sun alludes to collected knowledge, which brings enlightenment in a learner's life: hence the motto: KNOWLEDGE ENLIGHTENS
