St. Joseph's Boys Higher Secondary School

The Jesuit educators have as their aim the pupil's complete development. The school strives to make the students "agents of social change" or "men for others" so that the principles of social justice, equality of opportunity, genuine freedom, respect for religious and moral values may prevail. To give this ideal, concrete expression, the school programme includes various curricular activities.

St.Joseph’s Boys’ HigherSecondary School has a long history. It has a glorious past In 1793 Fr. Gabriel Gonzalves was the vicar of Mother of God cathedral. Of the two schools established during this period, one was for the Portuguese and the other for the Malabarees. The primary goal was to equip the children of the Christian parents employed in companies, providing them with enough of education, both physical and spiritual. Today’s St.Josephs’ Boys’ H.S.S., the true grandpa of educational institutions had been established for the Malabarees as EuropeanSchool. Very limited are the pieces of information regarding the school during 1793 to 1860. The school today has two streams: the English and the Malayalam media. Very few ancestral schools like this could retain their cultural heritage, welcoming the new curricular transformations and trends.. The school is believed to have gained its composite progress under the reign of the Carmelite priests in 1861. Their administration extended from 1861 to 1878.

In short, the school stands proudly holding its head ever higher in the centre of Calicut city attracting a vast number of students for admission in all classes. The number of students studying in the school from 5th to 12th STD is almost 2000 boys, mostly from poor economic background. The former students adorn very many important posts in all over the country. With the full hearted support and cooperation of staff, parents, alumni association and well-wishers we hope to move forward more proudly as years go by. Our Heavenly patron St.Joseph is always a strong protector and provider for us.
