History

It was towards the end of the 19th century, led by Sri Naryan Chandra Bhattacharyya, some locals of Serampore, Mahesh and Ballavpore, approached Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar with a request to open a branch of the Metropolitan High School at Serampore. But Vidyasagar Mahasai advised them to set up a school in the town on their own. With his blessings came up Mahesh Higher Class English School with fifty six students in the year 1884. Later the school moved from Mahesh Higher to Newgate street (Rishi Bankim Sarani) and from there to Poffam House, the present Vidyasagar bhavan of the school building.

In the 1930s the doors of the school were opened for the girls of the town willing to pursue higher education after primary level until Serampore Girls’ High School came up to shoulder the responsibility. During the war the school building also housed some classes of Serampore College.
