Naogaon K.D. Government High School (Bengali: নওগাঁ কে.ডি. সরকারি উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়) is a public secondary school in Naogaon, Bangladesh. It was established in 1884.
History
[edit]Krishnadhan High School was established in 1884 by Babu Krishnadhan, the deputy collector of Naogaon and supervisor of the Ganja Society.[1] The school was housed at first in a hay barn south of the present school building. Later, as a higher English school, it was known as Naogaon K. D. H. E. High School.[2]
Funds raised in connection with the coronation of Emperor George V in 1911 helped construct a single-storey "H"-shaped brick school building.[2]
The police took over the school's two-storied hostel in 1956, creating a severe shortage of student accommodation.[3] In 1969, the school's managing committee donated the hostel, still occupied by the police, to a proposed girls' college.[4] Meanwhile, the auditorium was built in 1961 with a government grant.[5]
The school was provincialised in March 1970,[4] becoming Naogaon K. D. Government High School. On 24 February 1984,the school had celebrated 100th anniversary. There is a memorial stone to commemorate this memory.
