History

St. Aloysius Primary school was founded in 1902 by Belgian Jesuit Father Louis Van Hoeck. It was started in a building at the St. Anne's Convent compound in a small village. Later when Fr. Edouard De Meulder became headmaster, the middle school building was constructed to accommodate new students. The primary school received recognition from Ranchi municipality on 15 April 1936 and the middle school was recognized on 1 January 1949. In those days St. John's was the only Catholic boys' high-school. Fr. Aloysius de Raat put up a four-room school building and opened class VIII.[ clarification needed ]

By this time the Brothers of St. Gabriel were already in Konbir-Noatoli and the Archbishop and the Jesuit priests were impressed by their life and work. The St. Aloysius' school was offered to them. The offer by the Diocese was accepted by the Provincial Council of the Brothers held on 21–22 March 1957.


An agreement was signed on 4 December 1954 by Rev. Nicholas Kujur, the Archbishop of Ranchi on the transfer of the administration and management of St. Aloysius School to the Brothers of Saint Gabriel. This agreement was effective "from first of June 1957".[ citation needed ]

Bro. Marcel Joseph, the Superior and Headmaster of St. Joseph's School, Konbir-Noatoli, was transferred to St. Aloysius School. He brought with him Bro. Mathurin and two other young Brothers.

At this point, the high school began running. In those days Cl VIII to XI formed the high school section.[ clarification needed ] The school was hardly known in the locality and the students who came here were of a lower socioeconomic status. The school faced many problems, namely that they were not recognized by the state education department.
