History

At first, Narayanganj High School was an Anglo-Vernacular school. It became an ME school in 1876 and finally it was promoted to high school in 1885. The school was located on the bank of the river Sitalakhya near Netaiganj from 1885 to 1907. In those days the school used to sit in a fenced house. The name of the first founder of the school is yet to be known.

The school was shifted to its present location from Netaiganj in 1907 with the increase of students. The sub-divisional officer's bungalow was there at that time and the bungalow was also shifted to its present site in the same year. There was a pond behind the school named ‘Ornamental Tank’. The pond is filled up now and some buildings have been constructed.

The name of the first headmaster of the school is yet to be known. Sharat Chandra Basu was the second headmaster (1888-1900).
