Agarwal Vidyalaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School

If you head over to Vepery, specifically 54, E.V.K. Sampath Road, that is where we are located. Agarwal Vidyalaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School occupies a good bit of space in this part of town. The road outside can be quite chaotic with the trucks and the local traffic, so our gates are a bit like a shield from all that noise. We’ve got a lot of history in these halls. The floors have been walked on by thousands of students over the decades. You can see the wear and tear on the wooden desks, but they still hold up just fine. Our teachers are usually rushing from one floor to another with chalk or notebooks in their hands. It is a loud place during the breaks, with everyone talking at once in the corridors. We don't spend money on flashy signs or glossy brochures. We'd rather just keep the lights on and the classrooms stocked with what the students need for their matriculation exams. Lunchtime is always interesting because the smell of different home-cooked meals fills the air. Sometimes the rain makes the courtyard a bit muddy, but we just clean it up and keep going. It’s a practical place for families around Vepery. We don’t have a lot of empty talk here. We just show up, do the work, and go home when the final bell rings at the end of the day.
