Our Heritage

The School was started as the first English Medium School in 1952 by a Private body of educationally minded citizens of Palakkad. In October 1961, the Lions Club of Palghat took over the management of the school when Dr. A. K. Haridas was the President, Dr. T. K. Kesavan Nair, Vice President and Prof. Panchanathan N.S, Educational Committee Chairman. It was renamed Lions Nursery and Preparatory School.

A fund raising initiative was launched with a dance recital by Cine star Ms. Jayalaitha to collect funds to start construction of the new school building.

With the help of Ln Adv Narasimhan of Coimbatore, the school was able to organize a benefit music performance by Bharath Ratna Smt. M. S Subbulakshmi, to raise funds for the school building. We record our deep sense of gratitude to t his great person who did it absolutely free for the club. The amount raised by the concert relieved the financial strain to a large extent and the school building construction was started. The foundation stone was laid by His Excellency Sri. V V Giri, the then Governor of Kerala, and who later became the President of India. The construction work had to be staggered for paucity of funds. One more fund raising programme was organized before we could finish the construction of the building.

The club Purchased 3.02 acres of land in the heart of the town . In 1968 , during the tenure of President Ln. Haridas Menon , the school was shifted to the new building.

The school owes its gratitude to the valuable contributions of the following stalwarts of Lions Club of Palghat Dr. K. Madhava Menon, The founder President of Lions Club of Palghat, Dr. A. K. Haridas, Dr. T. N. Venkitachalam, Prof R. G. Menon, Former Principal N.S.S Engineering College and V.S.A Karim, Lion members M.S.Menon, P. Narayana Menon, P. Kumaran, C. R. Nair and K.
