History

The credit of establishing the school goes to the then royal family of Hetampur. They had great zeal for the spread of education. Raja Bipracharan  Chakraborty started a Model School in 1849. His illustrious grandson, Maharaja Bahadur Ramranjan Chakraborty  upgraded the school as an Entrance School in 1869 and subsequently the institution got recognition from the University of Calcutta. So, 1869 is considered to be the official foundation year of the school. Hetampur Raj High School has a glorious track record in academics, sports and cultural activities.  A good number of students from this century-old institution have left their marks in their respective professional fields. In 2018-19, the 150 th anniversary of the school was celebrated in a grand scale and all the dignitaries present on the occasion have expressed their admiration for the school.
