The school was established in 1923 by Canadian missionaries. FS Ford was the founder principal of the school. It became a full-fledged high school in 1935, and was later converted into a co-educational school in 1967.

Addressing mediapersons here today, principal Virender Pal Singh said, “It is a monumental occasion, a testament to our enduring commitment for providing a transformative learning environment that nurtures young minds, fosters character development, and ignites a lifelong love for learning.”

“As we embark on the next century of educational excellence, we remain steadfast in our commitment to nurturing young minds, promoting inclusivity, and fostering a passion for lifelong learning. The school will continue to be a place where students are empowered to explore their talents, pursue their dreams, and make a positive impact on society,” the principal added.

He appealed to the alumni and former teachers of the school to join them in the commemoration of the milestone.

The school is a flagship institution of the Diocese of Amritsar, headed by Bishop Rt Rev PK Samantaroy.
