Saint Mary's High School (Rajkot) is one of the oldest primary and secondary schools in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Saint Mary's High School has a 10-acre (40,000 m2) campus located on the Kalavad Road of Rajkot city.
History
St. Mary's School was started on August 11, 1957 with 25 students. Fr. E. Gadea SJ, the then Parish Priest of Rajkot, was the founder and first Principal. The classes were conducted in the premises of the Catholic Church, Mochi bazaar. The school was granted official recognition by the then Government of Saurashtra on June 11, 1959. In June 1961, Fr. Mateo Ramonell SJ took charge as Principal, and the same year Gujarati also was introduced as a medium of instruction.
In 1961, Fr. Ramonell SJ bought the present property on Kalawad Road, 5 km from the city, and the foundation stone of the building was laid in January, 1962. The next June the school was shifted to the new building but it took another five years for the construction of the building to be complete. In 1968, the first batch of 46 students appeared for SSC Board examinations. Fr. Azcotia SJ was the Principal from 1970 to 1977.
In 1977, the management was transferred from the Society of Jesus (SJ) to the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI). In the same year, the Higher Secondary section, in English medium with both Science and General streams, was opened. Fr. John Naduvathussery CMI started a separate building for primary in 1978, which was completed with an open air stage by Fr. Mathew Bassus in 1983. An auditorium and the first floor of the primary school were built by Fr. Joseph Madhuravely in 1998. [1]
