History

The school was established in 1885[1] by philanthropist Hassan Ali, who hailed from the neighboring Lakshmipur District. The school was established during celebration era of Silver Jubilee of Queen Victoria, therefore, it was named as Chandpur Hasan Ali Jubilee High School. Since May 1, 1969 the then East Pakistan Govt took control of the management. Initially the school was coeducational for boys and girls. The women's college premise used to be the Muslim Hostel of the school. Zamindar Marhum Ahmed Raja Chowdhury established the Muslim Hostel. The School is known as one of the oldest in the city of Chandpur and the 5th oldest in the then Chittagong Division. A detailed history of the School has been written by M. Abdul Hamid Mazumder (M.A, M.Ed., LL.B), who served as the Headmaster of the School from 1949 to 1972. The School celebrated its 125-year anniversary in December 2012. The School has produced notable educators, civic leaders and educators at home and abroad. At its inception the School was located near Kalibari, for 34 years. In 1919, the school moved to its current location. At that stage the School was a two-storey red brick building. The current three story yellow building is about 20 years old. The running Head Master of this school is Mrs. Sultana Ferdous Ara.
