History

On April 3, 1880, the school started operation as a minor school at East Adalatpara neighborhood in Tangail. After a short while it was upgraded to a high school by some enthusiasts and government officials. The school was named Graham English High School after then deputy magistrate of Mymensingh Mr. Harold Graham. The school went through financial crisis for about three years after establishment. The authorities handed over the school to the prominent zamindar of Dhanbari Nawab Bahadur Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury for financial benefits. He aided with operational costs for about two years.[1][2]

Then all the expenses of the school were taken over by Rani Bindubasini Roy Chowdhurany. She was the consort of Dwarkanath Roy Chowdhury, zamindar of Panch Anna portion of Santosh. The school was renamed to Bindubasini High School after her as recognition of her support. For the first time in 1886, 20 candidates appeared in the entrance examination from the school. Of them, 14 passed in first division and 6 passed in second division with merit under her efficient management. The zamindar brothers Pramathanath Roy Chowdhury and Sir Manmathanath Roy Chowdhury satisfied with this. They donated the lands of present premises of the school, dormitories, municipal park, and other lands to the school named after their mother. They patronized the school and established facilities such as buildings, laboratory and library. Mrs. Chowdhurany carried the responsibility until she formed a trust in 1910 and handed over the responsibility to the board of trustees. The school was being operated with government support fund by the school managing committee headed by the mahakuma or district administrator till January 31, 1970. The school was nationalized on February 1, 1970 and it started to operate as a double shift school in 1991. The school achieved the status of best high school in Bangladesh in 1996. Ever since its establishment, the school has been making outstanding contributions to the spread of education in the Indo-Pak subcontinent as well as across the world.[1]

On the premises of the school, National Awami Party leader Maulana Bhashani, at a mass rally, announced his support for the freedom fighters on March 11, 1971.[3][4]

In October 2022, the students of the school protested the move of the municipal corporation to demolish the walls of the school to widen road.[5]
