History

In the 1930s, a revolutionary thinker and social worker, Abubakkar Lebbai Sayyadhu Mohammed, established the school on 12 February 1935. The first principal was A.K. Subramaniyam. During its early stages, admission was only granted to boys. At the beginning, there were three teachers and 36 students. In 1936, the school was improved with an addition of one teacher (four total) and 170 students (215 total). In 1937, a Teachers and Parents Association was created. In 1944, S.S.C classes began. In 1948, with 423 students and 15 teachers, a new block was constructed.

In 1952 the school was divided in two as upper school and lower school and had 14 classes. In 1958, girls were allowed to join the school. During that time, the educational minister Mr. Dasanayaka constructed a new block to the school. In 1994, the school was announced as a national school. The principal was A.H.M. Siddeek(1997–2008). In 2003, a building was constructed with a new block and was separated for the English Medium.

An auditorium was opened in 2004 in memory of M.H.M.Ashraff, who was the founder of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress.[7][8]
