History

That day to remember was 15 July and the year 1949.  Our country had got independence just then.  The social reforms wave were spreading in all directions within the country.  New concepts revolving around women's education were also emerging.  Based on that very idea the headmaster of Khidirpur Academy late Shri Jitendra Nath Bandyopadhyay took the initiative to establish  Kidderpore Academy for girls with only five students.  Smt. Uma Snehanobis joined the school as its first headmistress.  Then in the year 1954 Smt. Shobana Bandyopadhyay took charge as headmistress. The school gained popularity and special recognition in the area within a very short period of time.  The school got its affiliation from the West Bengal board of secondary education in the same year that is 1954.  Since then there was no looking back but only rising to greater heights.  Then in 1957 one of the patrons of the school late Balai Bhushan Paul donated a substantial lumpsum amount into the school fund in order to retain his father's memories. That time the school was renamed as Sarat Chandra Paul Girls High School to honour the contributions of Sri Balai Bhushan Paul.  In 1971 the school got upgraded to higher secondary school.  In continuation Smt. Bithi Basu became the teacher in charge after retirement of Smt. Shovona Bandyopadhyay in 1990.   Smt. Pratima De Sarkar, teacher in charge Smt. Indrani Dasgupta, headmistress, Smt. Sharmistha Das, teacher in charge, Smt. Sumita Mukherjee teacher in charge, became heads of the institution successively. Smt. Shrabanti Naskar assumed responsibility as headmistress in 2019 and is still at the helm of affairs.  

The tiny seedling implanted in the 1950s has now become a mammoth tree. This institution promotes a great aspiration to produce students with not only biblical degree but also a strong character by inculcating a sense of secularism and liberalism who would grow as a responsible citizen of India.
