Chittagong Municipal Model School & College

Chittagong City Corporation Municipal Model High School , established in 1880, is one of the oldest schools in Bangladesh.Chittagong Municipal Model High School
established first as a junior English school in
1880 by Shyamacharan Sen, a social worker of
Gairala village of patiya, chittagong at the
present location of the Baptist Mission Church
in Firingibazaar of Chittagong. Shyamacharan
was also the first headmaster of the school. Later, Chittagong Municipality shifted the
school to its present place and upgraded it to a
high English school. Its management was also
taken over by the municipality. The school
however, faced financial hardships. In 1882,
Zamindar Raybahadur Golakchandra
Chowdhury donated two thousand rupees to
the school, after which it gradually started
growing as a model institution. Zamindar
Raybahadur Prasannakumar Ray served the
school as an honourary headmaster. In 1947, Parthasarathi Gupta, a student of this
school, stood first in the Matriculation
Examinations held under the Calcutta
University. After the Partition of Bengal in
1947, the school earned fame because of two
headmasters, Durgamohan Guha and Haridayal
Gupta. AKM Mahmudul Haque, another
headmaster of the school, was honoured with
the Best Teacher Award in 1992. In 2001, the
school had 2,400 students and 47 teachers. It
has a library equipped with modern facilities.
