Railway High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Railway High School, Palakkad is situated in Railway Colony. This place is known as Hemambika Nagar Railway Colony.

The school was initially started by Indian Railways as a primary school, under un-aided programme of the government of Kerala.

In the year 1979, with the initiative of the then Head Master Mr P Madhavan along with the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) took up the issue of upgrading the school to a middle school. Due to lack of response from the State Government Authority, the Head Master with his vision & true leadership started 5th standard. Once the students of 5th standard passed the final exams, he started 6th class and so on to 10th standard.

It was with the then Head Master's vision & initiation that the first batch of 10th standard students passed out in the year 1984. The School achieved a 100% pass mark by all the students of the first batch scoring pass mark in the final SSLC exam conducted by the Govt. Of Kerala.

This School offers Malayalam, English & Tamil divisions. Now the school offers education for students up to class 12th[+2].
