[edit] History
The school was founded on March 15, 1965. Following the inauguration till 1968 it was a junior school. In 1972 the school was converted into a High School. The students from the school participated in Secondary School Certificate Examination (O-level equivalent) for the first time in 1973.
During the first 25 years the school kept its growth as a high school only (10 years of formal education). Following the demand and the requests from the guardians the a college (11th and 12th year of formal education) for the female students was added in 1991.
Because of the reputation of the school the admissions tests of this school are highly contested. To make room for more students the administration felt the urge to open a new branch of the school. A project to open a new branch was proposed which was called "Banahree Project". On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, in 1996, this initiative was taken. That branch started its activities at Rampura with 702 students. Mr. Faizur Rahman is the legend of this Ideal institution.
