Barasat P.C.S Govt High school

The school was started at a site not far from the present location. However, to accommodate the increasing number of students, a permanent building was built. The original building still exists but has been condemned since the early 1990s. The official name of the school was changed from Barasat Government High School to Barasat Peary Charan Sarkar Government High School in 1996, in the honour of Peary Charan Sarkar who established the school.
