On January 16, 1963 a roving British Leather Technologist, Mr. T. L. Lumb established St. Joseph & Mary’s School, a co-educational School with only 17 students and 5 Teachers. Mrs. Sulekha Goswami became the Principal of the then private, unrecognized institution as Mr. Lumb repatriated to England. Dr. R. K. Mahalanabis, the then professor of Mathematics (Jadavpur University), was offered the chair of the Secretary. As the strength of the students grew in leaps and bounds with time, more number of teachers were recruited and in 1979 school constructed its own building in plot no: 578B, Block-‘N’, NewAlipore. In 1980, the school became affiliated to the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations (School Code : WB 042). The school is administered by a group of eminent educationists. It is managed by a registered society and possesses a team of highly qualified and dedicated teachers. Under the guidance of Dr. Sharma the school has many remarkable achievements to boast of.
