==History==
During the building of this school the founder of Barisal Govt Brojmohon College the late Brojmohon Dutt (first powerful Mufence of Patuakhali Mohakumar Magistrate) father of late Awshini Kumer Dutt, Nobin Chandra Shen father of Congress leader Shotindronath Shen, Umesh Chandra Dash father of leader Hiralal Dashgupta who is the former owner of the present building of Shonali Bank, local lawyer, barrister and many other people played a very important role. In 1876 Akhwy Kumar De’s hgave a place where they built a hut and first started a school named ‘Patuakhali Entrance School’ under the supervision of Magistrate Rosh Ranjan Pal as the headmaster of the school near the present district post office.


===Origins===
Present school hostel and playground had been used for cultivation. In 1887 former SDO Mr. Foez Uddin Hossain took a lease on this place for the school and he build an eight room, single storied building with the help of the government and money from the local people. In 1887 on the day of Moharani Victoria’ Golden jubilee festival they moved their school to the building from their old hut. On that day they named the school as ‘ Patuakhali High English School’ as the part of their school memorandum.
In 1876, Axmoy Kumar Dey donated land for a school near the present district post office. There was established '''Patuakhali Entrance School''',<ref name="barisalboard">{{cite web |url=http://www.barisalboard.gov.bd/102477 |title=Patuakhali Govt.

At that time the present school location was farmland. In 1884, Sub Divisional Officer (SDO) Foyz Uddin Hossen allotted property for a more permanent structure, and constructed an eight-room, single storied building there. Instruction shifted to the new building on the occasion of the [[Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria]] in 1887, and the school took the name '''Patuakhali Jubilee High English School''' in remembrance of the event.<ref name="barisalboard" />
In 1912 former Indian government took over fifteen bigha of land near the school and handed it over to the education ministry to make it a government school. When the education ministry gave an order to the acting committee to leave the school under government supervision the school committee disagreed, thinking that if they did do it then this school would loose the goodwill that it had. They took a lease under one taka tax and built the present school building. In the period of India, this school earned fame as the idol school in a very short period of time. As a result in 1917 they got a donation from Calcutta University. At that time Pondikul Shiromoni Borda Kandoshen was the principal of the school. In 1931 the most brilliant student of the school Nobochandra Banarji took charge as principal, a position he kept for about 24 years. In his time Bongo Shardul A. K. Fazlul huq and former education minister Sir M. Azizul Huq came for a visit. In 1945 they started giving scholarship in every year of 5 taka per month to the student who gained the top score in the examination of high primary in every Union to study in the school


In 1912, the Indian government put the school under the authority of the Education Department. [[Calcutta University]], which regulated and controlled secondary education in [[Bengal]], recognized the school in 1917.<ref name="barisalboard" />
