  • A Brief History. Thycattuserry , is one of the villages situated in the large island of Pallippuram. This island is geographically surrounded by Vembanad lake and its tributories. Because of the isolated position, the people of this island were backward in education and in all other aspects. There was not a single educational institution to the people of this island, to learn English properly. So cultural and educational backwardness pushed this area into a darkness. In that situation, this school emerged as a morning star to light their life and for the future generations. This institution was established on 28 – 05 – 1912 as the fulfillment of the ambition of the villagers. Under the leadership and effort of Sri. J. Kunjavira Tharakan, Ayyanattuparayil, this school was started in his own property, as a memorial of the Silver Jubilee of the then Maharaja of Travancore , Sree Moolam Thirunal. The first name of the school was Sree Moolam Silver Jubilee English School and Sree Kunjavira Tharakan as the Manager and Sree Kaniyampuram Joseph as Headmaster. The first school building was transferred to the Govt. for a hospital and it remain as a relief to the common people of this and nearer villages. The school continued as an English Middle School till Independence. But the English schools were abolished as the Govt. policy. So it continued as an ordinary Middle School till 1949. The increase in the number of pupils and no other source of High School education in this locality, this school upgraded to a high school in June 1949. It was the result of the joint effort of the Manager Sree P.K.Hormese Tharakan, Rev. Fr. Joseph Vattakkattuserry, the vicar of St. Antony’s Church, parishioners and the prominent local people. Sree Rajaraja Varma Thampan was the first H.M of the High School. The first SSLC batch came out in the year 1952. The percentage of the examination was very high and the school became one of the best schools in Kerala State. The school contributed many eminent personalities in social, political and cultural sections of the society. Now the school is under the management of St. Antony’s Church, Thycattuserry and the Vicar shall be the Manager. Rev. Fr. Joseph Thekkinen is the present Manager and Sree Paul Joseph.K. ,the Headmaster. Now the school is facing the shortage of the students due to upgradation and establishment of new schools in this area. About five hundred students are studying from Standard V to X . The Staff Council consist of 22 teaching and 4 non-teaching staffs. Majority of the students are now coming from the weaker sections of the society. An active Parent Teachers Association is functioning here as Sree. A.S. Pappu , President and a mother P.T.A under Smt.Pushpa Latha . Now this educational institution is oncoming to her centenary year and will last for ever, spreading the light of knowledge to the future generations.
