 ==Biography==
-Born in England and christened [[Mary Waterton Waters]] to a family of missionaries, and moved to Africa with her family.  She was considered a rather eccentric and formidable woman, who had a passion for education and culture. This led her to become involved with various missions, as either a teacher or a principal. Among others she was the principal of a Native Training College School in what was then known as [[Pondoland]] in the 1920s, successfully organised demonstration classes for a Coloured Training School in Cape Town and teaching in Windhoek, reviving a poorly equipped church school. On retiring she came to Grahamstown and in 1942 she was appointed as lecturer in the Education Department at [[Rhodes University College]] and was also asked to assist in the [[R.U.C.]] Coloured Practising School, where she soon established herself as the main teaching force in the institution. When it became a high school in 1963 it was named the Mary Waters High School in her honour.
