“The essence of education lies in drawing out the best in you.”  – Swami Chinmayananda

It is both an honour and a privilege to lead St. Mary’s High School, a school that has been a beacon of learning and values for nearly three decades. What makes our school truly special is the shared commitment across all stakeholders — students, parents, teachers, and management — to the core belief that “Knowledge leads to wisdom.”

At St. Mary’s, education goes beyond the classroom. Guided by the Chinmaya Vision Programme, we nurture the holistic development of every child — physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Our aim is not only academic excellence, but also the cultivation of character, compassion, and clarity.

We are proud of our child-centric approach, which ensures that learning is joyful, relevant, and meaningful. This not only leads to the growth of our students but also brings immense satisfaction to parents who witness their children evolving into confident, responsible individuals.

As a school that touches every sector of society, we are proud to have been recognised for the 12th consecutive year as Premium Budget School and a Parent Choice Award recipient. We are also honoured to be a Microsoft Showcase School, embracing technology with purpose and vision. Our teachers continuously adapt and evolve, blending tradition with innovation — be it through hybrid learning or digital integration — while staying rooted in values.

Our alumni, who are making meaningful contributions across the globe, are a reflection of the universal outlook we nurture. Whether through academics, co-curriculars, or social outreach, we foster patriotism and pride in our rich cultural heritage, while preparing students for a global future.

The dedication of our teaching and non-teaching staff is the strength of St. Mary’s. Their commitment ensures that each child feels safe, supported, and inspired every day. This journey is further powered by a visionary management that believes in leaving no stone unturned when it comes to providing opportunities — whether in-person or online.

As Principal, I look forward to walking this path together — with our passionate educators, supportive parents, and ever-curious students. I remain committed to upholding the legacy of excellence and values that defines our school, while embracing new ideas and opportunities with open minds and open hearts.

To every student, I say:
Dream deeply, think clearly, grow fearlessly, and believe in your infinite potential.

To every parent, I assure you:
Your faith in us will always be met with honesty, compassion, and unwavering commitment.

Together, let us write a new chapter in the story of St. Mary’s High School — one filled with hope, harmony, and high achievement, rooted in the spirit of Indian culture and global vision.

Hari Om and warm regards,

Regards
