History

Spreading the aura of education to every nook and corner of the suburb of Barisha for 163 years, Barisha High School has shouldered an enriching journey that began at the epoch-making ‘Atchala’ of zamindar Sabarna Roy Chowdhury. Impregnated with an iconic past and a hoary present, Barisha High School, blessed with the relentless endeavour of Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar who persuaded its smooth onmarch , has wonderfully handled the changing student milieu, scripting success in every area of human civilization, being the prodigious ‘Second Home’ to a flood of luminaries like Kabishekhar Kalidas Roy, Late Shantipriyo Chattopadhyay, Late Biswanath Chakraborty, Anirban Chattopadhyay, Palash Dey, Pappu Bhowmik, Pulaha Sarkar, Bodhisatwa Bhattacharya,Deep Das to mention only a few.

The odyssey that began as “Barisha High English School” in 1856, with the inauguration being effectuated by none other than Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, has continued its spiritual quest, through decades, as Barisha High School, combining convention and innovation in its mission of enlightenment, emphasizing on learner-centric education by virtue of role plays, a system of continuous assessment, parameter-wise grading, instead of formal ranking. The success of the students of Barisha High School at the Madhyamik, Higher Secondary and Joint Entrance Examinations truly attests the indefatigable efforts of the teachers with the sagacious orchestration of the Headmistress and the Assistant Headmaster.
