Armanitola Government High School is a secondary school for boys in Armanitola, in the old part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. [1] It celebrated its centenary in 2004.

History

This school was established in 1904 by the British government, as an experimental school of the only teacher training college of East Bengal at that time. The school started at a vast campus with red brick buildings constructed in the British style at a location in front of the Tara Masjid (Star Mosque), a famous monument of Muslim architecture. Within a few years after its establishment, it drew attention of the city dwellers for its performance in education, sports and culture.

The school, however, could not sustain its name and fame during later years, particularly during the Pakistan period. Only by turning it into a government school in 1960 could it be saved from chronic financial crisis. Even after the independence of Bangladesh, it took a long time for the school to recover. Only since 1992 has it started to perform well. Armanitola Government High School is considered one of the best schools in old Dhaka.
