SACRED HEART L P SCHOOL, THALASSERY, (1886)

Vision and Mission:

To empower and enlighten girls.

On April 1, 1886, 52 girls started the school. On July 25, 1891, the school was recognized as an upper secondary school. In 1896, the strength rose to 147, and a European parallel school was opened with 40 students. In 1907, the Indian School with English medium opened from IV, and by 1909 it was a complete high school. The European school was closed down in 1909 for lack of strength. In March 1911, the batch of SSLC students secured a cent percent result.

In 1947, after Independence, the school had to adopt Malayalam as the medium of instruction. In February 1948, the school participated in the All India Agricultural Exhibition and sports. The school uniform, which had been dropped during the war years, was reintroduced in November 1956, the same year the Education Department introduced the youth festival at the school, district, and state level.

In 1961, as per government orders, classes I-IV of the lower primary section began with its own headmistress. Sr. Marianna was the first L.P. HM. April 1, 1986, marked the century year. In 2006, six computers were installed, and a computer class started with a special teacher by the PTA. Currently, we have 8 divisions following the state syllabus, with English medium as parallel sections.

On July 3, 2016, one of the BRC coordinators of Thalassery visited our school and proposed the idea of complete digitization of the school. The proposal was accepted, and parents and staff worked shoulder to shoulder. The dream of a fully digitized school was fulfilled within 65 days. Sri. Mullapally Ramachandran, Honorable MP, inaugurated it. Our school has become the first fully digitized L.P. school in the district and state. The digitized classrooms have made our teaching-learning process more engaging and interesting for children.
