In pages of the past, heroes brave,
Their stories echo, our hearts they engrave.
Guiding lights in history’s night,
Their courage fuels our future’s flight.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up and mustering the strength to stare it down is what creates heroes. The need is to realize that persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems. As we gear up to celebrate the untold saga of Raja Soorajmal the need is to understand that milestones are achieved and benchmarks are set as a result of our legacy and history. It is these commendable moments that we proudly bring to you through the annual report of the school. This is a testimony of the values and integrity that have been instilled in each stake holder of the institution.
