SMS High School and OSC Educational Society ®

In the early 1950s, the schools at Brahmavar and Mabukala had supported the local students in their primary education. However for high school education the students had to cross rivers either to reach Kallianpur or Barkur. The situation worsened during the rainy season. Rev. Fr. Koshy realized the need of the students and decided to establish a high school in Brahmavar itself. Thus the parishioners and local leader under the leadership of Rev. Fr. P. G. Koshy established the Orthodox Syrian Catholic Educational Society (OSCES) in the year 1953. And through OSCES, SMS High School was established in the same year. During the initial period of establishment the local education officials did not approve the High school in Brahmavar. Rev. Fr. Koshy has travelled to Madras and he had to pledge the 25 acres of church land for depositing the amount for getting approval for high school from higher authorities. This itself was a major achievement of Rev. Fr. Koshy during that time. But unfortunately he did not live long enough to develop and lead the school. SMS High School was inaugurated on 19th June 1953 and Rev. Fr. Koshy passed away on 14th September the same year.

In the beginning classes of SMS High School were held at CHE school building, but later moved to its own independent building. The hardwork and the commitment of the teaching and non-teaching staff earned high reputation to the school within a short period of time. In the year 1972, SMS High School was upgraded to Pre-University College with Arts, Science and Commerce subjects being offered. P.U. College also received the aid through central and state government funds. Additionally, the local philanthropists also supported the college in its developmental activities. P.U. College never functioned as a minority institute and was represented by local people. This was the main reason for its quick progress. The high school and P.U. college boasts of state of the art sports ground and amphitheatre (Makkala Mantapa). It has already hosted district, state and university level sports competitions. Many of its students have secured ranks in the board exams.
