History
Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School is a residential institution with a glorious history dating back to 1st June 1917. The history of XX is in essence a history of ideas, visions and hard work of its pioneers, Bro. Omer (Director), Bro. Henry Gabriel and Bro. Stanislaus. As Bro. Omer had to join the armed forces in France, Bro.Eugene replaced him and served XX for more than 30 years. "Bro. Eugene Memorial" is an eternal tribute and remembrance to XX's 'Man of Destiny'.
Initially, it was a European school founded during the First World War. Beginning with George Spitteler, the first student to be registered in XX on 1.6.1917, every XXian continues to build its glorious history. The period between 1936 and 1942 were the glorious years in the history of XX. It was during this period that the school chapel was built and consecrated.
In 1975, 'Mayfield' was purchased and the present buildings were put up to start the Higher Secondary Classes. Presently it houses the junior school from Stds III to VII. XX has produced numerous personalities in all walks of life.
