User:Fabrickator/secondary schools in Sri Lanka named Senanayake

This page provides some "background information" on several similarly-named schools in Sri Lanka, to help differentiating them. These schools all include some form of "Senanayake" in their name, referring to the family that includes (among others) the following members in successive generations:
 * Don Spater Senanayake (1847-1907)
 * Don Stephen Senanayake (1883-1952): "Father of Sri Lanka", First Prime Minister of Ceylon
 * Dudley Shelton Senanayake (1911-1973) Successor P.M. to his father

It will be noted that they all share the same initials, and that those initials are used in some of the school names, but that one does not spell out the name if the name of the school specifies initials, or vice versa. As an example, one should not refer to "Dudley S. Senanayake School" as "D.S. Senanayake School".

There may be some variation in the name used for a given school, but the location can be used as a clear way to distinguish among these schools.

While these schools are called "colleges", they are actually "secondary schools", roughly equivalent to a high school in the U.S.
