After independence of India on 15 August 1947 Gangpur was merged with Odisha. In 1948 class 9th was opened, and in 1949 classes 8th and 9th were recognized. In the same year, class 10th was added, and 11th was added the next year. In 1951 the first batch of students passed the matriculation examination.

Initially the school was named Rajeswar High School, but the state school authority didn't accept the name, so it was finally named as Hamirpur High School in 1951.
