St Michaels Junior School, Prasad Nagar

DESCRIPTION :

St. Michael’s Junior School was first started as the Holy Child School in a small building in South Patel Nagar, under the guidance of the Sisters of Holy Child. The school though small was well known in the vicinity. This was taken over by Rev. Fr. Jorge D’Souza, who then managed the school independently. Seeking better recognition, the Diocese bought a bigger space and got a building constructed in Prasad Nagar in 1984 in the name of St. Michael’s Junior School. It was inaugurated by Rev. Bishop Angelo Fernandez. The aim and the objective of the school has been always to educate the weaker sections of the society and is therefore wedded to the ‘Sahodaya System’ of education.
It began as only boys’ school, which was slowly converted to a co-education school. After the sad demise of Fr. Jorge D’Souza, Fr. Anil Couto, the present Archbishop of Delhi took charge and then Rev. Fr. George Panackal. The Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters came in later and managed the school. They had brought about number of changes and work hard to make the Michaelites soar high.
