Shahid Dastgheib 1 Secondary School (Persian: مدرسه ی متوسطه ی دوم شهید دستغیب یک) is a distinguished all-boys high school for gifted students located in Shiraz, Iran. The school is a member of the academic NODET organization, known for its high level of academic difficulty. The school is considered to be unconventionally challenging in mathematics and science courses, and has many academic award winners among its alumni.
Student life
Shahid Dastgheib Secondary School opened in the 1980s, becoming the first NODET branch located in Shiraz. It was initially a single building, comprising both the Middle school and Secondary School. Later on, the bordering property to the east of the school was constructed into what is today the Shahid Dastgheib Middle school. Today, the original building contains only the secondary school, and the two schools have separate boards and principals. However, students accepted into the middle school are guaranteed admission to the secondary school, without an entrance exam necessary.
Due to the construction of another NODET branch in Shiraz, also named Shahid Dastgheib, the original school has become known as Shahid Dastgheib 1. A third NODET school was later established in Shiraz, although that branch was closed, with its students enrolling in Shahid Dastgheib 1.
The School is located on the southern banks of the dry river. The entrance to the Shahid Avini Metro Station is directly adjacent to the secondary school entrance, facilitating the commute of students. From its south side, the school neighbours the Khalili Garden. To the school's west, the all-girls NODET branch in Shiraz, the Farzanegan School, is located across the street. Farzanegan and Shahid Dastgheib 1 were once visible from each other's grounds, but the construction of the Shiraz Metro Organization Office between them has visibly separated them. Despite this, Farzanegan and Shahid Dastgheib 1 maintain communication and occasionally hold joint events, and are considered as Brother-Sister schools.
There are various kinds of clubs at the school ranging from the bridge designing club to Olympiad preparation clubs. Shahid Dastgheib is the most prestigious secondary school in Shiraz, and arguably the Southern region of the country. This is due to the high demand and favourability of enrollment in the school, as is true with most NODET schools. The school has boasted some of the best statistics of student admission into prestigious post-secondary programs, though this number has decreased over time, despite the increase in student capacity. The executive branch of the school encourages students to participate in National Olympiads in multiple disciplines.
