In 1867, George Williamson, a senior administrative officer, donated one lakh rupees, for the promotion of technical education in Jorhat and Golaghat. With that donation, Williamson Artizan School was established at Jorhat in 1876 with eight students. A high school as per government policy was also established in Kohima, a district headquarters. However, the school had closed for the want of students. There was a demand for a high school in Jorhat and hence the Kohima High School was shifted to Jorhat in 1883 and merged with Williamson School. The school is now best known as Jorhat Govt. Boys' Higher Secondary and Multipurpose School.
