History of the school
Kodungallur
Government Heigher Secondary School was started as 'Kochi Thaluk
Padasala' on 10th July 1890 A.D (Kollavarsham 1065 Midhunam 27).
“Kodungallur Kovilakam” which belonged to the erstwhile Kochi kingdom
was a centre of learning and literature. But it was accessible only to
the upper castes of the society. It was at the instinct of Sri
Kunjikuttan Thampuran (Kerala Vyasan) and Sri Koonezhath
ParameswaraMenon that the Kochi Raja RamaVarma started this school.
Narayanan, son of Mambully Kizhakeemadam Ramaswami Iyyer and Gopalan,
son of Kathully Achuthamenon were the first students of the school.
Kodungallur Thaluk Padasala was started with 1st and 2nd
standards in 1065 M.E Midhunam 27. Till 1895 A.D it was a lower primary
school. In 1896 A.D it was upgraded and renamed as District School. In
1899 A.D the name was modified as Vernacular School. In A.D 1908 it
became Kochi Sarkar High School and reached in full swing in 1909 A.D In
1945 A.D the girls from V to X were shifted to the Sathram Padasala
(the present GGHSS Kodungallur) near the kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple.
With this the school became a centre of learning only for boys. In 1961
A.D the lower primary section was separated. That school today is known
as Govt LPS (BHS). In its Centenary year 1990, it was upgraded as
Government Higher Secondary School. In 1995 English medium was also
started here.
