Johann David Marquard (1819-80) First public teacher or headmaster of the Government school at the corner of Longmarket and Chapel Streets, Pietermaritzburg. It was opened on 16th July 1849. Marquard was a cultured man, highly regarded by the Dutch community. This was important because most of the foundation pupils were Dutch speaking and only after the arrival of British emigrants in 1850 was the ratio inverted. Marquard saw the school through its first four years after which he resigned to take up a business appointment in Cape Town.
