Name
Changing its name to Pine Hills College in 1973, Ghora Gali College in 1979 and then back to Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree in 1986, was undoubtedly a big set back to the college from many angles but it still has maintained its name among the top public schools of the country.[original research?]
