History

SHIBPUR HIGH SCHOOL is situated at a village of Shibpur, P.O. - Shibpur, P.S.-Mathabhanga and the district of Coochbehar in West Bengal. The surrounding area of this school is abounding with two rivers (Mansai & Dharla),green trees and corn fields making it a sweet and peaceful abode of people mostly cultivators. Unfortunately the date of establishment of this school was not found till now. But according to information from senior citizens and other sources it is assumed that the school was established in the last quarter of the nineteenth century by the then king of Coochbehar beside his Dak-Bunglow at a place later on washed away by the river Mansai. As a result the school after a temporary shifting to a place near the mosque, finally shifted to the present site perhaps in the first quarter of twentieth century. The authentic record in this regard is a certificate conferred to Lt. Kafil Uddin Ahmed (Ex student of this school) ,for his grand success in the Middle Vernacular Examination held in Coochbehar the order of the vice president , Regency Council Coochbehar state on 5th December 1924, it was set up as Middle English(M.E) by the then Government of the state of Coochbehar. The school was upgraded as Shibpur Complete Basic (C.B.) School in 1960 from class I - VIII. nIt was splitted into Junior Basic( class i- v) and Junior High (class vi-viii) in 1969.
