After their hard work in 1876 Akhwy Kumar De’s had given a place where they built a hut and first started the school named ‘Patuakhali Entrance School’ under the supervision of Magistrate Rosh Ranjan Pal as the Head Master of the school near present district post office.


Present school hostel and play ground had been used for cultivation. In 1887 former SDO Mr. Foez Uddin Hossain take lease this place for the school and he build an eight room one stored building with the help of government and money of local people.

In 1912 former Indian government take over fifteen bigha of land near the school and hand over it to the education ministry to make it government school. When education ministry give order to the acting committee to leave the school under government supervision that time the school committee disagreed, thinking that if they do it then this school will loose the goodwill that it has, besides they took 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 got 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 takes the charge as principal. About 24 years he was in that position. In his time Bongo Shardul A. K. Fazlul huq and former education minister Sir M. Azizul Huq came for visit. In 1945 they started giving scholarship in every year 5 taka per month to that brilliant student who does top score in the examination of high primary in every Union to study in this school


In 1952 this school enlisted in Uplift Scheme. In 1962 it enlisted in Maltire Tarol Scheme. On 15th November, 1968 this school had been nationalized and name the school as ‘Patuakhali Govt Jubilee High school’ in government level.
