Hill Grange High School (Mumbai)

India / Maharashtra / Mumbai

It was once upon the time the premier Institution of its kind, possibly in all of India. I went to school here. From Class 3 to Class 5; then, from Class 8 to Class 12. I associate Hill Grange High School with a lot of experience of all kinds, of pains, pleasures, fears; of learning, of growing. Towards the end I was close to Miss Kelly, who was the Principal and a very unique, multi-faceted person. Yes, I shall always remember Hill Grange. Of the rainy mornings, and the wind swept auditorium where we assembled every morning to say our prayers and to sing the song of our country. I shall always remember my old alma mater.

  • Hi All, Was googling for something else and landed on this site. Quite a coincidence. It was a surprise seeing Kelly Cohen's name. Hi Kelly, do you remember? How are you these days? email me at cyrusk@nebtech.ca. I am in Mississauga, Canada since '99. Was in Bombay this August and Gaurav, Nergis and I were remembering the good old days. Met up with Ashok during my 2005 India visit. I still remember the play we took part in, do you remember? Ashok, Nergis, Ume, you, me and God knows who else. It was real fun. All the best and keep in touch. Cyrus Kalwachia
  • Hi Charles It is a pleasure hearing from you. Ms. Sophy Kelly was my grandmother's younger sister. I was literally born in Hill Grange in 1962 and lived/studied there until 1980. My dad, Mr. Menash Cohen, was the vice-Principal for about 28 years. Best wishes

  • Hi Kelly Cohen. I am trying to trace my mother’s family tree in India. She is a Kelly and was born in Kola Gold fields. Her grand father was Jobe Soloman Kelly who was in charge of the Post Office there. For many years we thought the Kelly name implied an Irish background until I found out my great grand father had a Jewish name. Researching the Kelly name and being of Jewish origin in India I came upon Ms Sophy Kelly. I would love to find out the connection, if there is one between our families in India. You can email me at rodney @gapleisure.com.
