  • I studied in this school during the years 1965 to 1970.
  • Meignanapuram is a developing village located at 45 km north east to Trinelveli. It has nealy 2500 houses in five straight streets and around 10,000 people live there. There is a B.Ed. college, Rev. John Thomas College of Education for Women and two higher secondary schools one for women (Eliott Tuxford Higher Secondary School) and another for men (Ambrose Higher Secondary School). In addition there are two elementary schools. All the above schools are managed by the local christian administration and they maintain good educational standards. There is a church (St. Pauls Church) for christians. It possess 192 feet tower. Every year around 25th January there will be a 'anna thanam' serving nearly one lakh people in rememberance of the church dedication day. The whole church will be illuminated on that day. The tower is visible even from 10 km distance. Hindus living in muthulakshmipuram (it is also part of meignanapuram) and semmarikulam (nearby village) also generously contribute for the church dedication day celebrations
