Ysgol David Hughes is the largest Secondary School in Anglesey, Wales. The school building was completed and opened in the village of Menai Bridge in 1963 by Anglesey County Council which, ten years earlier (in 1953), had become the first education authority in the UK to adopt non-selective comprehensive education.
The new school in Menai Bridge catered for all the secondary pupils in South East Anglesey who up to then had been educated four miles away in Beaumaris, the former county town of Anglesey.

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
