History

Chittagong Cantonment Public College was founded on October 17, 1961, by the then President of Pakistan, Field Marshal Ayub Khan, NPk, HJ, at the invitation of the then Station Commander of Chittagong Cantonment, Colonel Ahmed Ali Sheikh, TPk. The institution officially began its journey on October 23, 1961, under the Chittagong Cantonment Public School Foundation. [5]

Lieutenant Colonel M. Sardar Khan, a retired officer of the Army Education Corps with experience in Cadet Colleges and Public Schools, was appointed as the first principal. Academic activities commenced on April 2, 1969, with 24 students and three female teachers. [6]

The institution received its first recognition from the Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Comilla, on January 1, 1971, and introduced the Humanities stream in 9th grade. However, during the Liberation War of 1971, the institution suffered damage. After independence, it was temporarily used as a shelter for prisoners, and a British-based NGO utilized the premises as an orphanage for war-affected families. [7]

The institution introduced the National Curriculum English Medium from 6th grade in 2003. In 2008, students appeared for their first secondary-level board examinations, followed by the higher secondary board examinations in 2010. [6]
