OUR RICH
HERITAGE
Dr.RM.Alagappa Chettiar was a visionary who believed that education was
an absolute necessity for a human being to become productive, wholesome
and humane. Responding to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's call for
industrialists to contribute to set up educational institutions, he was
quick to set up a cluster of institutions, which today form the core of
the Alagappa University in Karaikudi.
THE SCHOOL HISTORY
Padma Bhushan Dr. Rm. Alagappa Chettiar, the eminent philanthropist and
educationist founded the M.Ct.M. Chidambaram Chettiar Memorial
Preparatory School on 6th September, 1954, naming it after his close
friend. Following the footsteps of her father, Dr. (Mrs.) Umayal
Ramanathan founded the Alagappa Matriculation School, upgrading the
preparatory school in the year 1982. The curriculum was subsequently
extended in 1989 to become a Higher Secondary School, fulfilling the
needs of the community. In order to facilitate, streamline and
co-ordinate the activities in a more efficient manner, the Preparatory
School and the Matriculation Higher Secondary Schools were merged into a
single entity in the year 1999 - 2000 and named as 'Alagappa Schools'.
The school has educated 19 batches of X std. students and 13 sets of XII
std. students for the Public Examination and has produced consistently
creditable results. In this context, we are proud to state that many of
our alumni are successful and have carved a niche for themselves in
various business and scientific disciplines in India and abroad. The
School is recognized by the Ministry of Education, TamilNadu Government
and offers a wide spectrum of courses to fulfill the curriculum as set
by the State Government.
Invigorated by the motto of our institution "Better Your Best", our
Institution relentlessly strives towards attainment of confidence, love,
humility, knowledge, wisdom and courage in our children.
