Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed Memorial Matriculation Higher Secondary Boys School

Our school is tucked away at No 52 on the Siet Campus, right off K B Dasan Road in Teynampet. It’s a busy part of Chennai, but the campus itself gives us a little bit of breathing room from the traffic. We’ve been here for years, and the school has grown quite a bit over time. It’s a boys' school, so you can imagine it gets pretty rowdy during the lunch breaks and after the final bell rings. We have a lot of history here, and many of the men in the neighborhood actually went to school here themselves back in the day. The buildings are practical and have seen better days, but they serve us well enough for the daily lessons. Working here involves a lot of managing schedules and making sure the students are staying on track with their studies. Teynampet is a central location, which makes it easier for parents who work in the city. We don’t spend much time on fancy talk or trying to impress people with big words. We just run the school. There’s always some maintenance to do, especially with the Chennai heat and the monsoon rains. The staff room is usually full of talk about the upcoming exams or what’s happening in the city. It’s a straightforward place with a lot of regular people just trying to do their jobs. We’re just a local school on K B Dasan Road, and we’re happy to be part of the community here in Teynampet.
