Government Higher Secondary School Karrapur

This is the Karrapur school, and we are located at No 65, P S Sivasami Salai in the Mylapore part of Chennai. Being in Mylapore means it is always busy and noisy outside our gates. We have been operating out of this specific spot for quite a long time now. It’s an older building, very traditional looking with high ceilings and those heavy wooden doors that have been painted over many times. We don't really have many fancy gadgets or computers, mostly just old-fashioned blackboards and plenty of chalk. The staff here are locals who have seen many different batches of students come and go over the decades. We mostly focus on getting the syllabus finished on time and making sure the older kids are actually ready for their final exams. It gets very hot in the afternoons, but the old trees in our small yard help provide a bit of shade. Sometimes the traffic on Sivasami Salai is so loud that we have to raise our voices quite a bit just to be heard in the back of the class. We aren't trying to be the most modern or high-tech school in the city, just a simple place where kids can come and learn their basics. Our office is usually a bit cluttered with paper files and old dusty records, but we know exactly where everything is kept. Parents often stop by after their work to ask about how their kids are doing in class.
